BMW E46 1997-2006 3 Series Buyers Guide for 3 Series reliabilty. Avoid buying a cheap broken 3 Series and find a sought-after E46 with problems and reliability issues before you buy. Used E46 models have begun holding value if well maintained and some long-term owners want to keep their E46 instead of buying a new 3-series. The BMW E46 can be a reliable choice of car if you buy the best years and avoid the worst production years. The E46 generation has five variants, the sedan/saloon, the estate/touring, coupe, convertible, and the compact. Due to its biggest problems of Vanos unit and swirl flaps failure, and oil leaks, we suggest being aware of what to look for with our review.
The BMW E46 review covers model years from 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, and the 2006 model years for the BMW i, d, se, sport, M Sport. If you are deciding between the E46 and E92 or are an owner looking for a guide we have both on our channel. If looking for the performance model, we also have a guide on the BMW E46 M3. The issues discussed in our buyer's guide to the E46 BMW include rear subframe mounting failures, VANOS failures, and oil leaks.
