Default E46 B3 Touring

This car looks gorgeous! As usual, it's going to be too much for me though. I've given up even placing bids these days since things are so expensive. I feel like I'm just wasting my exporter's time.

That is a lovely one.

Pricing is nuts though now. The glory days of 5 years ago are long gone.

Yeah, I wish I had bought a few and stored them over there until they were of age. I was wanting to bring one in to replace my wife's car, but they're just too much money now.

We ended up getting a JDM import E46 330i with M-sport package locally. The guy brought it in about 6 months prior and he was selling for less than I could import one. All the documents checked out so we bought it

New thread when we finally take some better photos

Nice find. Have you noticed that the 2000+ BMWs tend more often to be RHD?

Yes, it seems like there are more. There were some with the earlier models as well, but not as many as the 2000+ like you mentioned. Since there weren't as many of the older ones I forget to check if they are RHD or LHD. Every now and then I think "why the heck did that car sell so cheap?...Oh, I missed that it is RHD."
