		So here it is, found the perfect car for me this morning, went and viewed it and have put deposit down ready to collect this week! 
BMW 325i coupe 
   
Paid £2100 for it with 8 months mot and 3 months tax, everything inside works and top spec model!

		Joking aside, a lot of car for the money mate. Can't believe how cheap E46's are getting, feels like they only came out a couple of years ago. Time flies eh?

		Yeah thanks guys! I'm very happy! Everything works, it's lowered on coilies and got the Msport wheels (I think)
 Everything works on it perfectly and only 1 tiny tiny dent on passenger door,
 Definitely made the right decision today, it's on 80k miles

		it looks weirdly out of proportion in that pic
 How far off the 330 is it in terms of performance and price out of interest?

 Definitely felt like 192 brake haha

		Nice cars, hope it serves you well. Why is the numberplate in the wrong place though?

		Nice car for very little money    
Any retrofits planned ?
 
I went nuts with my e39 regarding retrofits 
 
Heated electric memory seats with lumbar support    
16:9 sat nav
 
Parking sensors front & rear 
 
heated rear bench (custom Mod )
 
Electric Steering column 
 
Intensive wash um 
 
Get yourself an OBD cable 
http://bmwcables.moonfruit.com/ 
give this guy a shout good pal of mine Jimmy Hills. tell him puggie from the 5 forum passed the info on should sort you out.
 
He will also install all the software if you have any problems

		That paint is in awful condition! Never liked the compacts... Prefer the coupes! Each to their own I suppose. Love my Brothers 330ci  convertible. Detailed it last week!!

Not MV 2's I don't think, difficult to tell from pic. Is the rest of the car M-sport spec?
 
Have a look through here http://felgenkatalog.auto-treff.com  although not sure if yours are BMW alloys...
