Guys don't hit me but my wife drives an e-46 328i (the 04-05 are e-46's). We use it for winter road trips (the 911 is the summer ride) and I think it's a great car. She (the car) loves high speed cruising, is comfortable, achieves really good fuel economy, has really good power and must say, for a four door, handles very well. I've done my own maintenance (only routine) and recently had to put bushings in the front (like Whipped says). BMW wanted $1k for the job but I bought from our host, the parts for $118...and managed to easily do the job in three hours. With a lift and a proper set up....probably could be done in an hour. BMW has an awfully high opinion of themselves eh? I bought the car for $8200 a year and a half ago with just over 100k kms on the clock. I guess the values do drop like a stone, but I'm not not buying a new car and the most it can depreciate is the cost of entry. Cheers and good luck on your choice.
