$5000 is a great deal. The one in Victoria $6500 and has 275kms
I tossed the DC2 GSR air intake box that came with my ITR a few years ago. Different size tube. That was dumb.

We need a golden era Honda swap and shop thread. I have a stock DC2 GSR CD player. Also some rough 16" Prelude blade rims.

I'm looking for a winter car, something that's a wagon or hatchback. Was originally looking at 2006-2010 generation Mazda 5's, but then this caught my eye. As a non-mechanically savvy person, and somebody who's never owned a BMW before, will I hate myself if I get this?
E46 325i Touring with 160k, $7k obo (seems a bit pricey to me though)
but itll be a great drive when its not broken. (also semi serious)
Might be westophers? Don't remember if he has a PFL or FL. Tofu highlighted a key point, "when its not broken" LOL. You will hate yourself when you're trying the fix the damn thing, but you'll love driving it. It's worth it, but i'm bias.
I can't speak to the touring or the 325 (m54b25) directly, only e46 in general. Driving wise, it seems like a 325 has more midrange than a 330. But if you think you're gonna get better fuel economy driving a 325 rather than a 330, think again. I'm not mechanically inclined either, but I wanted to learn, and believe me an e46 will force you to learn LOL. I think the price is pretty decent, considering the mileage.
I would check how recent a cooling refresh has been done. Seeing that it's automatic, I'd check on the condition of the fan clutch too, those have been known to blow up through your hood L O L. But also seeing that it's automatic, facelifted, a wagon, and 325, you probably don't have to worry about subframe. Oil changes, spark plug replacement, etc, are super easy on this car. I'd go as far to say that even a full cooling refresh is pretty simple too.

Would you not be interested in an AWD if it is for winter? At least an xi version?
Or, maybe a Subaru wagon (price listed somewhat high but you can definitely talk this down, it's at an off brand dealer)

Those are a bit above my budget, I was looking to spend max $6k, so even the $7k on the E46 was already. If anyone else is interested in the Forester though, it's got 205k km

While I can't speak for subaru ownership, I can tell you the RWD touring with my good set of snows was fantastic this year in deep snow and shitty slushy roads. I grew up in alberta though, so experience in the snow helps far more than the right car to be honest.

Do you have to have 2 rear doors, and fit 5 people comfortably?
My friend sold his ep3 for 6.3, some might be less than that. EP3s are reliable, good on gas, and the same friend managed to fit a tent and other camping stuff in his.

Probably should, this winter car is basically the answer to the shortcomings of an S2000 lol
Yea something like that, but I'd be a little more comfortable with something lower mileage (my CL searches all cap it at 160k), doesn't have to be AWD though. And if I'm nitpicking, the early to mid 2000s Subie interiors are a bit of a turnoff for me but I appreciate the links you've provided me with
Edit:
I think I'll try to go check out something like these:
Didn't you buy tofu's high mile E46 M3? Or am I getting confused in my old age
Cx7 get really poor gas mileage apparently
