Project: 2003 (Facelift) E46 330D 6Speed Manual, Sport, Touring - lots of TLC required or spares Right, where to begin. I got this car about 5 years ago? was supposed to be my comfy / fast / economical daily - this is facelift 6 speed so 204hp not the earlier 184 so pretty rapid and returned between 39-48mpg over the time I had it. I did about 5k in it before the rear wheel bearing died, lifted the car and had a look underneath and realised it had a fair bit of surface rust around the rear subframe so thought I'd give it a quick spruce up. life rapidly got in the way so the car didn't get finished and has sat festering all this time. Engine still turns over, but no fuel tank on the car so hasn't been started in years. it comes with lots of spares and everything should be there to complete the car if required, or break it for parts as things like the sports leather, MV2 alloys, sports bumpers etc all sell for a fair chunk of cash, can't imagine the 6 speed box will go cheap either! actually comes with a complete spare rear subframe with auto diff for better acceleration so you can sell the spare brakes, subframe, half shafts, diff, hubs etc. comes with all new brake parts (mostly bmw, new backing plates, cable guides and the handbrake assembly parts) new pads and shoes, pretty much every bush and ball joint for the rear subframe, trailing arms and everything else rear end related, All Lemforder apart from one Febi - these are the BMW OEM suppliers, not cheap shite! either put this thing back on the road if you can be bothered or sell all the bits off / upgrade your own e46. your choice. Currently located in Swindon and i'm about to sell the house it's parked at, so I'd rather get rid of this silly cheap then have to move it to my new place and work on it / break it myself (I already have too many other projects to sort - building a workshop and finishing the v8 S15 are a much higher priority than this) so my loss (about £700 in replacement parts!) is someone elses gain! you need to be able to transport the car that's currently missing it's rear end, though I have a couple of dollys i've used to move it about, I wouldn't trust them pulling the car up the back of a recovery truck, so heftier Dollys / solution required. Looking at prices if this were complete it would be about £3-4k (Manuals tend to be at least £800-1000 more than slushboxes on the 3 litre diesels) I'm after the best offer over £1k with all the spares. Few pictures showing it in the worst possible light! {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} {} I've got a couple of guys interested (also advertised on Gumtree) but priority is to get it gone in the next week so first come first served. Can make it a bit cheaper with a few easier to sell bits removed (ie £850 without the MV2s)
