Go on tell me.
$14K. I would have bought it from him had it been a stick.
O. m. g.
Possibly.
The description is very promising but still leaves a few things to the imagination (e.g. oil consumption, how well it was broken in).
The choice of all-season tires is a bit puzzling. On these cars you want summers and a separate set of wheels with winter tires. All season tires end up being not enough of anything, unless you're driving like a ninny.... in which case the car might bite back in other ways (e.g. varnish, sludge) in the long run.

I read the article, and the e46 does sound like a car to buy.
I've been looking more out of curiosity than serious interest, and there are some really good deals out there.
For the price of a Fit, you could have a really entertaining ride, that should be fairly reliable and durable.
The non-ZHP seems plenty potent, too.

Yeah I think I have always suffered from the syndrome of wanting to own that "more rare" model/object, knowing full well that I will never take advantage of things like the 155 mph governer...but the extra hp and torque, albeit little more, might make me happier...that said, I agree with fdcg: the non ZHP is not a slouch, having driven one owned by a relative some time ago.
I am going to be patient and look for one, and not settle for the regular 330Ci..for now. - even the worst case, a non ZHP 330Ci is not bad at all
...autotrader actually had 3 330ci ZHPs with auto transmission (which I have to get) but they were all like 400 miles from me (and all of them under 50k miles and around $20k in price)...it's going to be a challenge to find this car in the neighborhood...but who knows? I'll just have to be vigilant and keep looking...one might pop up near me.
I can't be choosy with the color though...will have to go for whatever I get...low miles and ZHP and where I find the car, all trump the color...even if it's an imola red (which is my least favorite color, but also the most exclusive color for 330ci ZHP).
