I wonder what happened to them all? You never see those 190e any more, you still see the odd e36 e30 of the same era. Wonder if they all sold them to Africa or something.

They definitely cost quite a bit more to maintain. I think once many of them were not worth much there's no way people could justify fixing broken ones.

Not nearly as important on the non M cars. It's the hard driving and high power applications that lead to the problem. You'd have to absolutely shitbag a non M, but that said, it can happen, although very unlikely.
Even with the miles stacked on it that car is really cheap.

Not a ZHP, no such thing on pre-facelift cars. Just a sport package 330ci which is nice but not nearly as special.

They still have 5sp on E46? Would have thought it's all 6sp by then.

Is a 300k km E46 worth the hassle? I haven't seen many that have lasted beyond that mileage without an engine replacement of some sort. Having said that, in this market, < $6k is a fair price for something fun.

Google yields that there are many of these M54B30 motors hitting 250k+ miles (400K+) as long as the cooling system and overall general maintenance is kept up on.

For a post-pandemic inflationary car world, this is a steal sub $6gs. If this were a 5th owner vehicle I'd say steer clear, but given the one owner situation since 05, it checks out.

Of course, you'd have to be really into the DIY E46 ownership experience, lol.

If you're lucky, it may have the camshafts installed. Depends on spec and without a complete teardown you'll never know. I know mine and one other pre-facelift E46 330ci MTech II had it installed.

This red one should have the .712 yellow tag rack and if not replaced already, the control arms. MeyleHD (the OE for the ZHP arms) is easy enough to source and DIY to refresh.

Value wise, the true ZHP holds the most value. Spec wise, I prefer the MTech II, complete with the laser anthracite seats.

This E46 is worth the hassle. I wouldn't say that for all of them tho. Mine made it to 260K prior to the write-off. Could have gone for more as the only thing wrong with it that just popped up was Camshaft Position Sensor.

That said, as we all know, I did a fuck ton of maintenance.

Uhm.... manuals were 4 speeds back then.

Also, there is zero chance this car has been 15,000kms... let's forget for a moment they're all in miles not kms... but the odometer is also only 5 digits.

My 68 Mustang is at 6,500kms right now

It's a nice enough example, but it's far from a pristine collector car. Lots of things have been fugged with on it.
