In my opinion the E46 was the last of the DIY BMW's. That said, any E46 with more than 100K miles needs the cooling system rebuilt. Will run you around $800 and most of a Saturday to do. Window regulators go out with an annoying frequency, but a fairly cheap and easy fix. If you get an automatic, try to find a car where the transmission fluid was changed out every 30K miles. The E46 automatic seems to have a very short lifespan after 100K miles if the fluid has not been changed on a regular basis. Yes many do last much longer than that, but many don't.
