I'm going to check out and potentially buy the bummer today any final opinions or feedback??

You`ll have to bring it around the next time we (the NJ E46ers) get together....:thumbup:

Good luck!! Sounds like a fun ride. Post pics ASAP if you do buy it.
post pics right now?

312Hp is still good and and it does have less than 110,xxx miles on it. So i would.

Take it to the BMW dealer and have those bastards inspected.

:D

I`ve visited with, and spoken to, JR and some of the guys at RedLine Speedworx in Washington Twp. (are you familiar with them ?). They seem to know their stuff, I`ve seen them working on several FI cars, among them a very nasty-looking Audi A6 twin-turbo.

And, speaking of Newark, back in the day, I did a bit of street racing on Rt. 21 (under the Rt. 78 overpass), down on Ave. P, and right in front of the Anheuser-Bush plant on Rt. 1 & 9....nowadays, I only go Down Neck for the Portuguese & Brazilian food....:angel:

I honestly had no idea they were there. i live about 15 minutes from that shop looks like ill have to go establish a friendship with them because I was like I said before always an American muscle guy I had shops for that not bimmers and other German makes. But that's where ill be going because I just read some great reviews about them and I also bought the 325 earlier today. It's got some real power it suprosed the hell out of me. It needs some basic things like interior wise the passenger side door panel is loose and the centerconsole lid is busted but my brother put the works on it and it checked out mechanically can't wait to put plates on it tomorrow and drive it. I will definitely miss my 323 because she's such a good car and my first e46. Also I have a question the driver side seat is power but will not move backwards the seat reclined and all but will not move back...any ideas about what it could be and how much to fix? He was about 5'8 I'm 6'2 it needs to go back lol. And yes i know exactly where you used to race route 21 is full of cops now lol

Anybody know any cheap sites to buy interior parts like head rests, center console etc door panel or would a junk yard be cheaper
Use www.realoem.com for finding part #'s
www.furiousmethod.com helps to uncover the best price.

Salvage yards would be your best bet, but there don`t seem to be many in Jersey that have a decent selection of Bimmer stuff....
