Looks like it’s in great condition. But, personally, I prefer the sedan and wagon e46s (or convertibles.) I just never got the whole coupe thing. Despite the fact that I have an alleged coupe, it still has a practical four doors and a hatch.

That E46 coupe is really similar to my first BMW, though I couldn’t afford the big six so I had a 323Ci. But it was that color combo. Really lovely car even if the engine was kind of mild, even by the standards of the time. My buddy got a nearly identical 328 and I was quite jealous.

It is an exact match to the one I have....

I keep telling Patty that the old car's, old stereo's and old signs will be worth something one day. Will be interesting to see what $$ it brings.
$12,500

Nutz... Figured it would go for $4k to $6k (on a good day).

That's cool.

Could have done without the ugly cupholders though.

I’m not sure that I’d want the potential hassle of maintaining an engine swapped car… as cool as this one sounds. Inevitably there will be oddities and weird issues even when done well and even when using sticking with the same brand.
