Right i have a 330i saloon 2001 in showroom condition but i fancy something different, Ive seen a M3 Evo convertible but i dont know if its worth me keeping this or changing it ive been thinking about it none stop for the past few days.

Mines got 70k showroom condition everything looks new on it and the m3 has 92 and is on 1999 it could do with new seats..

What do you guys think i should do? Keep mine or part ex? Confused

306s aren't something that loose value though (unless broken) they might even go up

M3 evo's with healthy engines are pretty fast. If its a good price, do it.

Its got fsh and is on 92k guy wants 4750 for it. It does need new seats though its something that will annoy me so im 50/50 if its worth me getting rid of something thats in good condition.

Needs to be in great condition at that price even if it is low mileage.

And I'll guarantee the vanos will be buggered, most of them are, the solenoids twist in the case and score the barrels, then they start to leak fluid and don't work properly. Mucho's money to fix with a vanos refurb.

And the specialist tools required to time up the vanos units are kept mainly at dealers

Vanos seals are a common item to go, i believe BMW don't even sell replacements and advise replacing the whole vanos unit itself.. Guy on eBay canada sells uprated ones though, my bro just bought some for his E46 328i and its perfect now.
