I bought the car 2 months ago and i am very happy with it, engine makes 110kw and 330 N⋅m (243 lb⋅ft), my old car Golf 4 had 1.4 55kw and 128 N⋅m (94 lb⋅ft), it was most unpowerful thing ever, after driving the BMW it felt like airplane actually. I have changed both control arms and the front control arms, car drives like a new. I highly recommend E46, it is very comfortable car and has good handling, best thing is the fuel economy, it is around 6.1 liters per 100 kilometers avarage. It is M Sport, has very good extras, black leather comfort seats, heated seat buttons at bottom, xenon headlights, facelift, multifunctional steering wheel.
