Check out BMW's used car listings (http://www.bmw.ca/english/products_services/precert/locator-fs.html). If you buy privately, I'm sure you'll get a better price than getting it from a dealer.

If she wants a coupe find a nice late model ('97 or '98) E36 328is or try to buy an '00 323ci for $30k. I'd rather have a more powerful, lower mileage E36 than a rough E46. IMO, the best value (for an all-arounder that you aren't going to mod) is a '99 E46 323i.

Good luck,
Rob

Is she serious about $30K? Cause I would be willing to sell my car for that price.....minus my mods because mods don't increase the value of a car! haha

I am looking to upgrade to a 325 or 330 cab!
haha let me know man

Pictures are on my sig.....

sorry to interject on your sales pitch max...but by purchasing a 98, 99 E36, chances are its going to have alot less problems down the road compared to a early gen E46...as it is the end of the E36 evolution, and most of the kinks are worked out...i bought the first year E36, and its got quite a bit of probs at 150,000km, also i think the E36 328 should be faster than E46 323

I saw your car at sait on wed. I told my lady friend how orgasmic it was and if she stole it for me i would be hers for life. haha

Yes I had a first year E36 too and it had quite a few problems.....mostly minor stuff that built up over time......and yes the E36 328 is faster.....

As for reliability.....unless you are buying a used E36 from the dealer you are going to have no warranty whatsoever......whereas you still get the manufacturers warranty with the E46.....

Last but not least.....styling......new E46 rock! haha

But maybe your right about the long term reliability thing but that remains to be seen.......
