Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE please and LIKE please because it gives me (little gremlin that edits these videos) lots and lots of dopamine seeing those funny little numbers go up!!!
Quick summary of things to remember before you buy your e46:
Check how frequently oil changes occured
Check to see if the engine has had an overheat event in the past
-Is it burning coolant?
-Does it reach temperature (Or sit below or above)
-Is there coolant in the system
Check to see when important replaceable items like the expansion tank were changed
Check that there are no strange sounds coming from engine bay
Is the body style your desired choice (4 or 5 doors of sedan and wagon are more practical)
Are the looks your desired choice (prefacelift or postfacelift)
If you are in a region where rust is an issue inspect rust likely locations like chassis rails and subframe mounting points
Is the car in your desired choice of transmission?
DO NOT BUY AN E46 WITH THE N42 OR N46 ENGINES THEY ARE NOTORIOUSLY BAD AND I DO NOT FEEL ANY SYMPATHY FOR YOU IF YOU GET STUCK WITH ONE OF THESE BUM ASS MOTORS. (i do a little bit)
