Smooth
Great ride for the age and miles, you cant even tell. Runs smooth and strong, and you cant even tell the car is on. Car just needs floor mats and a really good detail, but overall very clean inside and out.

Our absolute favorite
This is a brilliant vehicle designed with such care. Every time we drove it we would rampage on every aspect of it. It feels safe, reliable, charming and easy to work on if it needs any maintenance.

So much fun to drive.
For 2003 it has lots of nice features. I loved driving it. Having a manual transmission was very nice. It was expensive to get repairs done though.

You can't beat the feel of driving the E46's
I love the car. It's just what I wanted. It had only 115k miles on it but it has needed some repairs right off the bat. I'm in month 4 of owning it. i've spent about 2k on it and I got a check engine light the other day. Hoping it stops nickel and diming me soon

Very reliable. Never breaks down.
You will need to pamper this baby. Only BMW products and 91 octane and this car should never break down. It has 177,000 miles and small oil leak. I bought it at an auction and by luck SHE’S A KEEPER. Had it 11 months. I only go to BMW dealer for repairs Robert Hartsell my specialist at Riverside BMW!. It has small oil leak but still runs perfect already. Starts first try! in winter you need to warm up so it keeps running. So far put $1,200 in repairs. It’s costly but worth it. I need to fix the other 2 oil leak. It had 4 and now down to two oil leaks. YOU CANNOT PUT ANYTHING BUT BMW OIL!! FAIR WARNING!!! I drive up and down California for work and holidays. Today is thanksgiving. I drove from Riverside to Sacramento to be with family. NO ENGINE LIGHT! Only if u don’t warm up in cold mornings then engine light will come on! Car runs Good In All weather conditions. NO PROBLEM!!! But you have to pamper it. Pamper means only BMW products and BMW REPAIR SHOP!!! DO NOT GO TO AUTOZONE!!! If you put penzoil YOU FAIL!!! NOOO PEPBOYS EVEERRRR!!!!!YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Good handling car, enjoyable to drive.
Well designed car inside and out. Feels confident in it's handling, runs smooth. Of the best BMW's for reliability. Regular oil changes and maintenance keep these running a long, long time.

Very sporty sedan for the small 2.5l
Can't beat the feel of a manual BMW. It was an amazing car for my 3.5 year ownership. For the small 2.5l straight 6, it is very peppy and wants to go.

Best driving car there is
There’s no other way to put it, once you drive a bmw you’ll never want to drive anything else. And the E46 is the best driving bmw there is, they’re sporty, versatile, surprisingly good on gas, unsurpassed handling, the list goes on and on. Best vehicle there is, period. I’ve owned a few and will be buying another one very shortly.
