Latest car. With the Mazda needing serious welding in the sills, I spotted a 330Ci E46 for £3200 locally. This seemed too goo to be true for a 230BHP, well specced rear wheel drive car.

It seems sub 30mpg puts a lot of people off, the car was pretty sound so I bought it. I’ve repalced both front control arms so far – £208 in parts to get the front suspension back to original levels of performance and a common fault on these cars.

Otherwise, its nippy, slides when you want it to and very comfortable.
