> [@bracketracer](#): > > And yes, you’re right about the possibility of free repairs, but once a car goes through a few owners, the factory is a bit more reluctant to offer the repair. Original owner? Not even a question. Not even, they are relaxed on how many owners the car has when BMW doed the BMW fix, or do it right and shell out for the Turner kit will cost you ~$1200. ---

If you do end up getting an e46 I would definitely recommend getting an 01 or 02 with options. (sport, premium, cold weather) Most early models (99/00 323/328) have no options, most don’t even have heated seats. I’ve even seen them without a cd-player. The only downside is the price of course, if you want cheap then 323 is a good choice but personally I’d pay another grand or two and get one loaded up. just my .02 ---

IMO, a cheap daily is like a 3 or 4k car, not dropping 10 large on a high mileage BMW. I agree with a few who have already posted. Get a 3 series or M 'vert. Kill 2 birds with one stone. Maintaining, insuring and storing more than one car gets old. I’ve been living it for a few years now. I’m getting to a point where I want 1 nice car. ---

e46 is definitely my favorite so far. I didn’t realize that it has a common subframe mounts problem. ---
