2005 BMW 325i (E46) Sedan | 187,xxx km | OEM+ | Extensively Maintained
Finding an honest, well-maintained E46 is becoming harder every year.
If you've been searching for one that's already had the expensive preventative maintenance completed instead of being deferred to the next owner, this car is worth a look.
During my ownership, my goal wasn't to build a heavily modified project car—it was to restore and maintain it as close to OEM specification as possible using genuine BMW parts whenever possible.
This is an enthusiast-owned E46 that has been maintained with long-term ownership in mind.

Condition
The car starts every time, drives smoothly, shifts perfectly, and feels exactly like a properly maintained E46 should.
It has never been built into a drift car or heavily modified. Instead, the focus has always been preventative maintenance and preserving the car for long-term reliability.
This is an excellent choice for someone looking for a reliable daily driver or a clean enthusiast-owned E46 without immediately spending thousands on overdue maintenance.
Honest Imperfections
No 20-year-old BMW is perfect, and I'd rather be upfront.
Front M-Tech II bumper is cracked (replacement recommended)
Small crack on rear bumper
Small penny-sized rust spot on passenger rear quarter panel near bumper
Passenger front window regulator needs replacement
Rear shocks are beginning to seep
Brand new, uninstalled coilovers are included with the sale
Small tear on driver's seat
Extras Included
Original owner's manuals
BMW alarm system (included and can be installed/coded before sale if time permits)
Spare OEM parts I have accumulated during ownership
Extra bulbs for the headlights
This is not the cheapest E46 on the market, and it isn't priced to be.
The asking price reflects the maintenance history, condition, OEM parts, and recent investment made into the vehicle.
If you're simply looking for the lowest-priced E46, there are plenty available.
If you're looking for an enthusiast-owned example that's already had the expensive work completed, I believe you'll appreciate this one.
