Not for myself but, checking out for a friend.
What is a reasonable price of an E46 318i, what is the maintenance of the car like? and what are the common issues that would need to be fixed for the car?

no need to suggest the 320i 6cylinders cos that's been ruled out. :dramamam:


thx in advance all.
 
Re: How much $$$ for a E46 318i

Re: How much $$$ for a E46 318i

Louis,

BIG diff in power output man.
Try the avoid the M43s if possible.

And the E46 renewed COE cars come with pretty high risk.
If anything should happen - not much paper value beyond COE Balance.

Engines.
Literally sluggish vs. lively & revvy.

M43B19
117hp
180Nm

N42B20
143hp.
200Nm

Oh, and the N42 won engine of the year back in the day.

cool! thnx for the reply.
any issues in reliability between the 2?
Mock, M54B22 engine in the e46 320 is better than the N42B20 in the 318. Not much difference in the pricing. BVO told me that before I got my 318, I regretted not listening to Ah Wee...
 
Re: How much $$$ for a E46 318i

E46 318 N42 engine plenty plenty of oil leak problem. Go and ask Ah Wee BVO!
