e46 bmw 330i msport
 

Im starting to get itchy feet over my s2. dont get me wrong i do love the car never let me down and everytime i drive it whether its roof up or down it does put a smile on my face.

However i really want to go back to a car with 5 seats (leather) something still with good performance and sporty looking and feel.

I have been thinking about possibly a 330ci m sport likely to be e46 as i dont think finance will stretch to a new model.
Car seems to fit the bill in terms of what im looking for. According to performance figures it does seem there or there abouts to the s2 only 5 seats and lots of toys!

Now come the questions for you, has anyone made the change fom s2 to 330 m sport?
should i look for a manual or is the SSG box worth a punt?

anyone got any views on the beemer? or other suggetions that may fit the bill?

Yes it's shat.

really? in what way? i havent driven one yet so couldnt agree / disagree. what else could you suggest that would fit the bill?

:LOL: Genius as usual Nige. Swamped my keyboard mate.

It was a great car which has lost a lot of value as the E46 is an old looking car now.

Good engine, but IMO I would steer clear of the auto box which is average. We had it in our 330Ci cab and I was not a fan.

It's not as quick as an S or as much fun, but does have good space inside, good boot and quick enough. Get a late E46 with lots of toys, personally I would look for an early E90 330i saloon which has the newer N52 engine which is much nicer and probably not as expensive as you think.

Great post Moggy :rolleyes:

Why you can't at least be civil I don't know.

Or are you still smarting after your s2000 vs 330 calculation debacle :LOL:

Thanks moff

Im going to pop into my local bmw dealer at the weekend have a chat with them. need to see what they will offer px for the s2.

Also need to really take the 330 msport out for a drive im expecting it to HUGELY different in terms of how it drives to the S!

:confused:

No idea what you are on about.

I've had 2 e46 330i Msports

a 2001 5 door and a 2004 3 door

I thought they were brilliant..

Fast enough, comfortable (girlfriend could sleep on long journeys), lots of toys and good (enough for me) MPG on the motorway.

If i ever have to do long journeys again i'll have another.

couldn't recommend them highly enough :thumbup:
