The E46 3 series was a great body style. I think they pulled off both the coupe and sedan look very well. I have a 2004 330xi as my daily and it’s a fun car to drive around.
These engines are known for their reliability, 330ci and 325I are bulletproof just as reliable as a Honda accord, I would stay away from the dealership when it's time for servicing one of these beautiful German coupe. Find a BMW specialist that can save you ten of thousands of dollars, I have seen 325I and 330Ci with 200,000 to 300,000 miles on the odometer with no problems just change the parts when needed, they will go the distance and some more, make sure the car has service records and a clean Carfax report.
I'm 16 right now and I plan on buying this car as my first car when I'm about 18 or 19. I'm looking to get a couple of jobs so I can save up for this beauty :)
I already wanted this model BMW... then I heard the top gear theme song when you turned on the radio and that was my sign from above that this is the car I want.
I don't understand why people hate on the upload of new and old cars. I like the variety. I prefer older cars but there are a lot of new cars that I like. If there is a car that Kyle uploads that I'm not interested in or could care less about I don't watch it.
Kyle I really love your videos. I watched some of your first videos to the new ones. And your skills of filming and commentating are in their prime. These videos are universal to anyone. Simple but very effective. And I mean simple in a Very good way. These videos are the better ones on TH-cam. In fact in all your videos you don't criticize any of the cars like Top Gear would. I feel like you let the views decide based on their own opinion
I have a 2005 BMW 330d (the same model E46 as this one but facelifted) and it really is a fabulous overall car. Over 200hp, combined MPG 45. I couldn't be happier with my car. Now I don't know what this amit14267 guy was on when he wrote something about this car being old and boring but maybe he has to get a car of his own before commenting something like this. I usually don't reply to such things but this just frustrated me so much. And of course, as always, a great tour Kyle keep it up!
bmwmsport11 I think for the 3 series this was a good continuation, but the E46 M3 took a huge, unnecessary shift towards more horsepower rather than better power distribution. Also the weight :c
Top Gear..... Thats just perfect. HEY WHY DON'T YOU SHOW MORE NEW CARS!?!?!?!?! AND WHY DON'T YOU SHOW MORE USED CARS!?!?!?!?! Oh well guess you just can't make me happy. lol One of the best channels on You Tube. Keep it up.
Cool! Both Top Gear and Saabklye04 review the 2003 BMW 3-Series and I love both Top Gear and Kyle's reviews, sweet! Btw I think I prefer Kyle's short takes over the long videos unless he's reviewing something very intriguing.
the 1998-present BMW 3 Series was assembled in Leipzig, Germany Munich, Germany Regensburg, Germany Toluca, Mexico Rosslyn, South Africa 6th of October City, Egypt Kaliningrad, Russia (Avtotor)[2] Shenyang, China Jakarta, Indonesia (1999-2004)
1:20 My sister said that horn sounds like one of those games from Roblox(& yes I play Roblox). 1:50 or 1:51 That's Jessica-Allman Bros Band(I listen to Classic Rock for 4 years). I have a 2003 BMW 330i BTW.
what does it coast to maintain a BMW? as in oil changes, brake fluid and so on. cause i was thinking about geting an 02 330ci and stanceing it but I've heard european cars are expensive to maintain. any info would be appreciated.
Undoubtedly an elegant premium coupe with classically handsome muscular lines and a popular colour combination One of the thing which makes it so desirable, that it is just about the last year, when they made it pure, that is without a crapload of distracting gadgetry and electronic doo-dahs.
hey Kyle can you do a 2003 BMW 335ci convertible ....I'm looking at one but would love see your review on a one b4 I purchase one thx in advance keep'em coming good video
These are great cars, engineered and buitl very well. One of my work cars is an '01 325xi wagon that I just recently drove past 200,000 miles, and it feels brand new. But they styling of BMWs is just so.. arrogant and cocky. And a lot of the people driving them aren't much different.
I have a 2000 3 series, I recently test drove a 2012 545i it sure is faster and bigger but it just dosen't feel the same, it dosen't have that steering heavyness and it's so quiet...
you mean the 550i? i drive a 05 X3 3.0i(which is a bigger version of the E46 330). it just feels different all around compared to the new X3 or 3-Series.
@PaperWeight231 thanks, but can you please tell me how much ? i'm not from usa .. so i want to compare the price with our price here, so if it's much cheaper i would buy it, i really appreciate your respond
And then the car is ruined by the awful "steptronic" garbage they tried implementing in the early 2000's. Seriously, this car isn't worth owning with an automatic, coming from personal experience.
In 2001, the engines were replaced with the 2.5 and 3.0 litres, and an electronic throttle was introduced. In 2002, the sedans and wagons received the facelift. In 2003, all 330's got a 6-speed manual. In 2004, the coupe/convertibles finally got a facelift.
MrYision Not true. The facelift for sedans and tourings didn't come until 2002. Trust me, I owned a 2001 330xi sedan, and it was most certainly NOT facelifted. 2001 was a bastard year for the E46, since all 01' sedans and tourings got the mechanical upgrades but not the aesthetic modifications.
@amit14267 It's a bit hard to just go out and find a Bugatti Veyron or a Lamborghini Reventon/Aventador... It's very rare cars, and you just don't see them at any corner!! :P
Did someone tell you to shorten your reviews? If so, they're wrong. These short ones feel rushed to me, some of your trademark genuine interest is missing.
Gotta get that top gear theme in there
Lol!! I heard it to and I was like "isn't that the top gear theme song"

@@MANWITHTHEPIZZA how do I get my BMW out of high drive so he will shift into other gears

I love this guy man, doesn't go for all the unrealistic cars we cannot afford. Good on ya.

distracted by that TopGear theme tune lol
Tonight on Top Gear we have Special guest Saabkyle show us a review of a magnificent BMW.
I already wanted this model BMW... then I heard the top gear theme song when you turned on the radio and that was my sign from above that this is the car I want.
back when my nigga kyle waa struggling with that 480p

Perfect! This is as good as going to the dealership, except you don't get constantly hassled.
Man, you were just flyin through this one!! Awesome!!
Man, i think it's great that you upload these kind of cars. only reviewing exotic cars is just plain stupid :-)

I saw the article in Car and Driver Magazine about you..
your reviews are awesome bro!
Tooooop geeeeeaaar!!!!😱😱😱
1.53 - very apt music!!! 'On Tonights show, Kyle does another series of demo's of Keyless entry systems!"
Hello and welcome to today's episode of Top Gear!
when he pushed the throttle i was like :D
This period of the 3 series and 5 series is the most advanced and classical look for the bmws. New bmws don't have the BMW feeling anymore :(
Great review, sure enjoyed it!
just got a 2003 330xi with a 6 speed manual from my aunt for my first car :D
kyle is the best keep up the good work!
kyle, you should always carry a cd with this song and just play it in all the reviews, i can get used to this =]
Cool! Both Top Gear and Saabklye04 review the 2003 BMW 3-Series and I love both Top Gear and Kyle's reviews, sweet! Btw I think I prefer Kyle's short takes over the long videos unless he's reviewing something very intriguing.
Top Gear UK APPROVES THIS CAR!
Great review. I went to the website of Allcity Auto Sales and looked at it there too. Cheap price. Looks like a good BMW
the 1998-present BMW 3 Series was assembled in
Leipzig, Germany
Munich, Germany
Regensburg, Germany
Toluca, Mexico
Rosslyn, South Africa
6th of October City, Egypt
Kaliningrad, Russia (Avtotor)[2]
Shenyang, China
Jakarta, Indonesia (1999-2004)
So appropriate that the Top Gear theme song is playing!
One of the nicer 330s
i want it
Great timing on the music
@bmwmsport11 I agree! The E46 3-Series is my favorite Bimmer ever!
1:20 My sister said that horn sounds like one of those games from Roblox(& yes I play Roblox). 1:50 or 1:51 That's Jessica-Allman Bros Band(I listen to Classic Rock for 4 years). I have a 2003 BMW 330i BTW.

12CcTm if you do maintenance yourself its not too bad...but if you pay someone then it can get expensive

no check eng light at startup?
I like these older BMW's more.
Can someone tell me the differences between the 330 and the 325Ci other than it being a convertible? Thank you
this is my first car except its a 330xi and i would reccomend you get this but do your self a favor and get it in a manual
I got this for my 16th birthday
The 1 series still looks very much like it's from this era.
I want this car so bad!
me too
my dream car...
The red light is the alarm
watching top gear when when kyle puts on the theme song>>>
Great car for a first car :)
I always find it funny how comfortable the rear seats look in coupes like this considering no adult will sit there for more than 15 minutes :P
Does it do okay in the snow because I'm looking to get a 330ci but I live in ct so I need a car that will able to drive in the snow
hey Kyle can you do a 2003 BMW 335ci convertible ....I'm looking at one but would love see your review on a one b4 I purchase one thx in advance keep'em coming good video
THE GROOVE 2003 335? Wtf

@gamers209 Not sold in america.

Yes how do I get BMW transmission unlocked because it's in High Drive
HAAAHHHHH!!!!! TOP GEAR!
Just bought one but in manual trans of course.
These are great cars, engineered and buitl very well. One of my work cars is an '01 325xi wagon that I just recently drove past 200,000 miles, and it feels brand new. But they styling of BMWs is just so.. arrogant and cocky. And a lot of the people driving them aren't much different.
isnt that song the top gear intro? What version is that? Thanks and great car indeed.
Top gear theme song ftw
Does either of the buttons on the key you press at the beginning and end of the video actually do anything?
I have a 2000 3 series, I recently test drove a 2012 545i it sure is faster and bigger but it just dosen't feel the same, it dosen't have that steering heavyness and it's so quiet...
Tonight on Top Gear, Saabkyle04 drives our reasonably priced car around our test track.
nice car
wow, old tg theme tune, i guess they rly like bmw's
you mean the 550i? i drive a 05 X3 3.0i(which is a bigger version of the E46 330). it just feels different all around compared to the new X3 or 3-Series.
@PaperWeight231 thanks, but can you please tell me how much ? i'm not from usa .. so i want to compare the price with our price here, so if it's much cheaper i would buy it, i really appreciate your respond
1:53 TOP GEAR!
The 03 330ci I'm buying has clear rear turn signals....this one has the yellow/amber colored ones. Anyone know why?
Same here
Let me know what you find out. I'm buying one in Indiana and it's got me asking questions...
Fps 0077 The ZHP sport package comes with clear signals instead of amber ones.
awesome. Thanks man!
yours is a facelift model that's why.
fully agreed with you!
And then the car is ruined by the awful "steptronic" garbage they tried implementing in the early 2000's. Seriously, this car isn't worth owning with an automatic, coming from personal experience.
the steptronic auto in my 328Ci was flawless and even had a dinan tune on it.
Stfu. Another one of those guys
TOP GEAR!
by the way can you make a review of fiat.. old punto or old,uno, tipo? :))) thanks allot if u make one of these reviews
Anyone else see the article about saabkyle04 in this months Car and Driver?
i want one. going to see how much it costs on autotrader
You gotta do the SL500 !!!
Hey is this a rare color combination? Im looking to buy this car but cant find a blue on tan anywhere!!!
This can't be from 2003, right?
Since 2001 they're facelifted, or didn't the americans have this?
In 2001, the engines were replaced with the 2.5 and 3.0 litres, and an electronic throttle was introduced.
In 2002, the sedans and wagons received the facelift.
In 2003, all 330's got a 6-speed manual.
In 2004, the coupe/convertibles finally got a facelift.
Marshall Knutson wow thanks, never knew!
Drawnsbyme The sedans and tourings were facelifted in 2001, the Coupes in 2003.
MrYision Not true. The facelift for sedans and tourings didn't come until 2002. Trust me, I owned a 2001 330xi sedan, and it was most certainly NOT facelifted. 2001 was a bastard year for the E46, since all 01' sedans and tourings got the mechanical upgrades but not the aesthetic modifications.
Marshall Knutson The sedan facelift was definitely in september of 2001. Maybe your car was built before and standing at the dealer for months.
Hey, it says in the description "I give a tour of a 2001 BMW 330Ci". 2001?! It's a 2003.
@bladez0rz23 it is the song they use
Lol Top Gear theme song on the radio!
@amit14267 It's a bit hard to just go out and find a Bugatti Veyron or a Lamborghini Reventon/Aventador... It's very rare cars, and you just don't see them at any corner!! :P
What's the reliability on these like compared to the e90 330i/335i
the E46 is the most reliable BMW ever made, make sure if you buy one to replace the entire cooling system with a new one and you will be set.
Oh, you "only" have to replace the entire cooling system. No sweat.
yeah the cooling system. like a good $350-$450. no biggie xD lol
You should do a '01 BMW 740il.
Did someone tell you to shorten your reviews? If so, they're wrong.
These short ones feel rushed to me, some of your trademark genuine interest is missing.
lol at 1:50 the old top gear song :)
dat top gear theme song doe!
@ImHereToAnnoyYou Having said that, if it's just that the cars are boring then I take it back.
@saabkyle04 i know this a strange question but have any of the dealer's you film at gone out of business?
the 2nd car.
Top Gear music COOL
i like this bmw fast monster ! :)
