What to take note when buying a 2nd hand E46 or E39? any specific thing to look out like subframe cracking ( that's what I heard about E46)
Hope you guys can share your knowledge with me.

1 advice, get a 6 cyc at least if you are getting E46......E39 minmum is 6 cyc
cheers
darryl;765728 said:6 cyc meaning 325i or 328i or 330i??? they seem to have lot of model for e46 haha.
ac323;765733 said:Hi Darryl,
yes, pre-FL version of E46 320i is 2L M52 engine plus 323i is 2.5L both also using M52 engine 6cyc..
FL 320i is M54 engine 2.2L, 325 (2.5L) and 330i (3L)......
latest FL version of E46 318i is 2L, 4 cyc
E39 same as well.....pre FL model are using M52 till FL version is M54 engine...
you go do a google search just in case i missed-out a few percentage of the info..........

Laurence5658;766534 said:E46 320 2.2l
darryl;767248 said:Thank ac.
must study it properly. But there is no major problem with any particular model right?
ac323;767259 said:Hi darryl,
used car is used car..............so is better to have it check from a workshop or best if the previous owner service it at a workshop and you may continue with their service after paying them a visit to learn about the history of this used car.................it definitely make it easier for you to better make a decision.
or keep us posted on the unit you saw............you'll be surpised maybe the previous owner is from here...........................C3P0 used to have a solid looking E46........
cheers
darryl;767285 said:Sure thing. =)
