Congrats on the new E46 330Ci
After 2 years of driving an '04 325i, I was also pleasantly surprised with how well it drove, the handling, power and brakes, even the AC was brilliant. Overall the BMW build quality that defined the marque during the '70s to the '90s is no longer there as the interiors deteriorate and really cheapen the car and spoils ownership.
My girlfriend was driving the car in the middle of no-where also known as North Texas and the gas pedal broke because the plastic fatigued..can you imagine that a gas pedal breaking! That's one of many tales of woe on the interior, the car is also hard on front end components for whatever reason, at least parts are relatively inexpensive, simple to repair and lots of online tips and tricks.
I sold the 325i with 129k on it a few weeks ago for $3300, that's all the money I could pull from it, nut its gone to a good home and we had our fun with it.
I have to say people are fanatical about the E46 models and I can understand why.
