Couldnt listen to that awful accent a moment longer
Just ran a check on my own car. All good.
Not suprised you got fault codes and binding brakes / gearbox issues because you know what with CORVID and me being disabled my 3.0 'S' type Jaguar doesn't get used much and sits in the street when she should be howling down the A1 and i get those sort of faults she really needs a good home where she gets regular use.
I’m convinced if you two fell into a puddle you’d come out dry with a Salmon in each pocket !! What a find !! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Best of luck with the sale !
Haha I was thinking the same 🤣
Nice deal and car clean
My thoughts exactly! 👍
Looks really clean! Nice colour aswell 🙌
Bloody hell even Mat watches salvage rebuilds.. Did you buy that m3 ?
All the coolest E46’s are Estoril. Fact
Your on next Mat after Rob and Chris 😜
@@jackmillin what a line up 😅
Literally just been watching the rs5 vid Mat 😂👍🏼
Rob & Chris, The TV companies are missing a trick here, you 2 genuine blokes would have a massive audience if they took you on. Great viewing everytime. The BMW looks fantastic.
@viktor cork exactly, I gave up watching tv years ago, at least with TH-cam, you watch what ur actually interested in
Hi Guys. Lovely car. I have been a mechanic for many years and offer my thoughts regarding the vibration. I have a 320i of similar vintage (same brake set up). It developed a fault last year when you would be driving along and all of a sudden the car would start vibrating. It sounded like gearbox/propshaft/rear axle was trying to shake itself to bits. If i slowed down the vibration went away, but would return later. Like you i looked at the usual suspects and found nothing wrong. It turned out that the problem was the handbrake inside the rear disc/drum assembly. The handbrake shoes at the o/s had become detached from the pins holding the shoes to the back plate. (The pins had pulled through the backplate). I managed to refix them with a repair to the backplate, and the problem has never re-occurred. During lockdown the car had not done many miles and the handbrake had stuck on a few times, but always free'd off as soon as the car moved. Maybe this could be your problem. Love the channel. Keep up the good work guys.
That BMW handbrake is simply dreadful, MOT failure rate is really high.
When I bought my E46 the handbrake was dreadful, when I stripped it down the drums were full of rust, the previous owner had never had them adjusted properly and was just doing it at the cable (doesn’t work!).
Love you guys honest and genuine about everything you do, wish everyone was like that would make life so much easier. Keep doing what you do guys 👍👍👍
Lovely motor, brings back memories! Straight six 3.0 M54 engine, one of my favourite BMW engines! Got rid of mine at around 220k miles and the engine was still running strong, only maintenance I done was regular oil changes, renewed the cooling system and DISA valve and it gave me years of joy!
Love the exhaust stock exhaust note on the 330i's especially at start-up.
That is so clean, I don’t think you’ve ever done a car I wanted more than this, will be glued to Instagram waiting for you to put the listing up.
Good luck Dan, hope you get it "thumbs up" Simular thing happened to me on another channel i watch, the guy bought an old Lexus LS430, went through it with a fine tooth comb as they say, actually said he was going to keep it in his own private collection but I made him an offer he couldnt refuse and bought it off him, best car i have ever owned, so good luck and I hope you purchase it when Rob advetises it.
Nice BMW for an enthusiastic BMW owner .Professional checks from Rob and Chirs once again.
Great video again and what must be one of the best looking BMWs ever. The E46 just seems to get better looking the older it gets.
Oh my days what a gorgeous example of how a car should be looked after. She is stunning.
Hi Rob & Chris - Had one of these for a short while. Long story short had some big gearbox problems. In the end, BMW let me know there was a recall on some of these e46 models on the gearbox. I've been out of the car game for a bit but may be worth checking on that one.
My m3 was a airbag recall
It's been a little while since you 2 have had a BMW on the channel. Loving the variety of different motors.
I used to have a manual version of this car. It was a peach. Terrific find guys.
Love how u respect peoples wishes and not disclose the price top genuine blokes
That's the nicest car you've had on the channel since the Ferrari. A classic in the making.
Proud E46 330Ci owner here. Great video, lovely car. My battery has caused me plenty of issues too. 😂✌🏼
Proud E46 M3 owner in estoril blue. Hence my logo. Lol
Still a head turner for a 18 year old car.
Always washing it
Lovely e46, not many club sports left in that condition with genuine low miles and a full bmw SH too. 👌😎 excellent work as always Chris & Rob 👏
Fabulous find, especially in that condition.
Rob's gonna "force" himself to run around in the beemer for 300/400 miles 😄
Make sure you get a good return on this one, guys as you have gone rather short on some others recently. It is your good fortune and knowledge that this car did not have a major fault. Surely this car will not be short of potential buyers. Excellent video, thanks.
Anyone remember Edd China fixing an Audi gearbox for 50p???
Was it the TT with no 1st gear? 🤔
IIRC... 👍
@@sammytheseal2307 Think it had no 1st or 2nd ?
@@G4RY1159 Might have been, it was a long time ago! He did a very nifty repair - I remember that much!
@@sammytheseal2307 He did yes
50p plus several hours labour and gearbox oil.
What a great buy guys! Your subscribers are giving you some great opportunities! I’m sure you could make more on this car,, it’s rare, in excellent condition and with a full BMWSH!!! You deserve it! Keep up the great work. You guys are one of the best channels out there!!
Do the indicators work Rob. Never seen them blink on a BMW.🤪🤣🤣🤣
As I’ve only been watching your channel for about a year I thought id catch up on some of your older videos and they don’t disappoint, this is a great find WoW a beautiful BMW fantastic 👍🏼
That is one very nice car and you've been lucky with it hope everything pans out ok well done lads.
Hi Rob and Chris, what a find guy's, nice to see your ensuring all is well before moving it on. Great video. Cheers, Alex.
Another cracking video as always cheers
That's probably been used as a weekend car with such low mileage. Of course you need to respect the guys wishes with regard to the price but I think you are still on to a winner. I will say it again Rob that diagnostic tool saves so much head scratching . Nice video and I hope have solved all the problems. BTW what you were saying about the low power makes a lot of sense. 👍👍
Beautiful, brilliant car. If only it was an M3 but a clubsport still does the trick😍
True, but this will be a lot more economical and still a very fast and lovely daily for someone 😊
who wouldn't buy a car of these two top guys
E46 never stop being lovely and I have say I don’t think I’m have ever seen them wheels before, they are nice 👍
i'm amazed there's any 46 330is left without rear arch rot (like mine has)
I too am not that keen on BMW's but have to admit that's a very nice example. You took a bit of a punt with this one and its turned out well but could have been a different story, - guess that's the name of the game! I'm sure you will have no trouble selling it, hope it makes you a nice profit.
Wow, nice - I'd love to find something like this! I've been wanting something a bit more fruity to replace my aging daily but there's just nothing around that isn't silly money. Just nothing around :/
Bought a 6 year old 330 clubsport in 2008. 5 speed manual. Put over 50000 miles in 4 years including many track days. Unbelievably great all round car never even had so much as an airbag light. Club sports are so much more than the standard 330ci’s. replaced mine with an e39 m5. To be young again
Not usually a BMW guy, but I can appreciate them for what they are... and looks like you got a stunner in the car!
LOL £1600?? I’ve just seen this listed on eBay for £10k!
Either the previous owner got totally ripped off, or you’ll have it in your heart to pass him some money as a good well gesture....
Why he was honest with the guy saying it could something or nothing the seller wasn’t forced to sell the car
A nice clean vehicle, no question. Under bonnet view was a picture, it looked like a new ex showroom example. The niggly things were all the sorts of things that a laid up car usually produces, but at least you knew how to manage and massage them out. So, it did need a bit of work and your consciences are clear about earning a margin, call it a reward for efforts you made.
It is certainly a handsome example and doing nicely for its age. You surely have the luck of the gods on your side.
60k, perfect time to change a gearbox oil
What a beautiful car, I a gorgeous colour.
What a great video guys, you will enjoy running around in that Rob I am sure.
Thanks guys i think you just confirmed to me on what i need to do, i have a 2012 BMW 520D M sport, a month ago it started playing up, when starting all warning lights came on, id drive it for a minute, pull over and turn everything off, restart and all warning lights went off, after watching this ive just checked the battery and on the negitive terminal it has the numbers 35, 12, so just looked that up and them numbers mean the battery was made in the 35th week in 2012, im thinking im needing a new one, cheers guys, top channel
You should keep this as your daily driver. Why sell it? You'll never get another one like it for cheap. Please don't sell it and enjoy it!!!
Very nice mate👍😎
I have a Titan silver 2002 e46 325ci m sport convertible, 5 keys, original tourch, sealed first aid kit, unused fire extinguisher, full tool kit and original spare 😱, owned it 8 years and holding on to it as they are only going up in value now.
You guys should hold on to her as that 1250 profit could be more like 4 or 5 times that in years to come.
Beautiful car in the best colour 😍
That is one clean motor..previous owner gave up on it a bit too quickly !
Check the suspension on the top of the shock is a rubber mount, they are very common to fail (split) and cause vibration throughout the car. It normally sounds like a knock at lower revs. Its annoying when they go as its very hard to tell without taking the shock off. Mine went and depending on the weather (heat of rubber) the noise would come and go took me a good while to track the issue down, i thought it was a loose nut on the steering rack for a while (another common issue).
Honestly - put that away as prices are rocketing. I’d say it’s currently worth 8k easily and in a few years maybe 10-15k.
Nah not an auto. Only the manuals seem to be sought after. Nice car though.
@@sm5829 Bro you trippin. Try finding one in this condition and low mileage, I await your response.
Interesting... I drive a 58 plate 320d LCI with 47k. Might keep it!
@@DaveInBridport The price of a good e46 M3 has absolutely rocketed. So this has a knock on effect for the next model down, 330ci M sport & clubsport etc. Don’t believe me, try buying a e46 M3 in the same condition as the clubsport above and you’d be looking at £20K +.
@@XXXLAVERICKXXX very true
Vibration could well be lower front suspension wishbones/arms. The bushes go soft and you get that wheel out of balance symptom.
Cracking motor my friend! I'd definitely be interested in that one it goes on the market. 👌😎
I bloody love this channel. I had one of these back in the day as a pre cursor to an M3. I adored it and it wanted for nothing. Takes me right back to 2004.
Guy who contacted you must be absolutely crying. Get those Avon’s taken off though, nowhere near good enough for a sports performance car
Hi Rob and Chris. Please watch out for the gear selector switch. I had an intermittent limp mode light on my 3.0 E85 Z4 at 66000 miles and I could go months without the gear cog appearing and then without warning it would appear but dissappear after re cycling the ignition switch. I got fed up with the uncertainty of would it wouldn't it that I had it changed. It was an easy fix as it's on the side of the gearbox but cost me as I had to by a BMW one. You can fix yourself by taking apart and cleaning up the metal contacts. If you leave it then I wouldn't be surprised if it goes into limp mode again at a later date.
Sixth thought i was second damn !! YESS LADS!!! Great New purchase, seems like just had a flat battery haha!!

@@redlinequickshift lol, sorry I break it a bit more gently 😂
@@MattyEngland I appreciate that man haha!
What a lovely car! I love the variety on this channel. Also I like how you made sure the owner knew it could be an easy fix, shows what we already knew about you and your character.
This is my favourite channel on you tube!
i had one of these about 5 years ago and was lpg converted also gearbox issue and gearbox oil change and was right as rain..wish i kept it as they are rocketing in value.nice buy and best colour.
Listen to that ?? a phrase that will disappear over the next decade.
Not a lover of BM's but have to say that's a nice car, and great for 18 years old. Well scored.
Absolutely stunning car. Can't wait to see more of it.
I’ve had one of these in for an intermittent rattle, had been to a couple of different shops without being able to sort it, (assuming it’s the same model that is) the wings are plastic and the top of the wing behind the mirror has a little metal bracket that holds it to the a post, and if I remember correctly it’s attached to the wing with pop rivets, the plastic wears a little bit through time and randomly rattles, worth checking
Wheeler dealers from Discovery Channel eat your hearts out, this is how its done, Edd was a legend on that program, maybe invite him around to yours, the 3 of you would make a great team, but do us a favour don't ask Brewer he is a nightmare. keep up the excellent work
Well said
Edd's busy restoring a tatty classic Range Rover on his TH-cam channel - at least you'd have something to compare notes on!

@@craigrice1960 What are you on about - do you understand my comment?
Just a really nice & honest motor in immaculate condition - well done 👍it sells itself !!
Not finished watching yet. Only got to the viscous fan part. My 330CI viscous coupling went so i changed it and i also done the water pump/belts and pulleys as they are well known to go and grumble/vibrate like no ones business when the car is warm. If that coupling needs changing then that water pump and the rest will do as well. Water pumps are known to go on these 330CI's and when they do they cause a fair bit of damage at the front costings hundreds or even a seized engine. Now i will continue to watch..
Rob, have you checked that the heatshield is not rubbing on the propshaft? See the latest edition of M539 Restorations.
What a great looking car, and what a result for you, loving the cars your are having on the channel great content.
Love the E46, Estoril Blue and your attitude. Great stuff!
I’m really enjoying watching all your videos from here in Ireland keep up the good work guys 👍👍
The nearside wheel with very slight friction is fine ,bearing in mind new pads have been fitted,the offside probably needs the caliper replaced.I have a 2001 330ci individual in Messing metalic at 53K.That's a lovely car you have,however they can be problematic as I've learnt over the years,usually with elecrical components.The transmission ZF HP5 is brilliant and it would be worth changing the ATF with new filter and gasket.M54 best engine ever,I would'nt be able to sell that ClubSport if it was mine, especially in that colour.
The M52 wasn't bad either.
Got the M3 in this colour as shown in my photo. Love it
Really lovely car guys. I think you’ve landed on your feet with this one.
Great video as always.
Looks really nice apart from the spoiler, that does it no favours, some CSL wheels would set it off really well too. Nice quick flip that lads.
If the seller of this car reached out on Instagram he is a subscriber of this channel so if this was your car you would obviously watch and read the comments. Just like to say thanks for selling it to rob and giving him something to do a video with, hope you spend the money wisely and I’m sure this car will go to another enthusiast that will cherish it for many more years 😀
Hello Rob,nice looking car this one,low mileage and clean for the year,you and Chris have worked your magic,I thought it have been gearbox oil needs changing but due to voltage it's perfect now.
That’s a cracking result and car 👍, I said battery when you said about the guy starting after lockdown, see it all day at work, flat battery always brings a gearbox fault up, drive it for a bit and it will clear 👍, nice 😊
Vibration could be sticky front caliper, happens on all E46’s as the front calipers are pants. They tend to get more sticky as they warm up aswell.
What a pristine example of a superb motor. Love this model of BMW, and in the right colour. Not many about in this condition and low miles. Hope it’s next owner keeps it in the same condition. Great video. 👍😎
What an amazing looking motor. Looks very clean and tidy, a good little runner. I’d want to keep that. Great content as always. Stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏽🙂
Lucky buggers! Why can't I find little treasures like the beamer! Great video guys
I think the black bag in the boot is for a litre of top up engine oil. Normally comes with a bag, gloves etc.
Agree with Tyler on the codes. I had an ignition switch fault once which prevented charging. I got the car going but by the time I got back home it was showing every fault in the book due to the low voltagesat the sensors.
What a lovely motor, proper car, the colour is bang on too, hope u sort the little issues and make a butty on it, good video lads keep em coming👍👍
Some interesting cars on the channel recently! love it.
I actually like the fact you guys do most of your videos live and that they're not always perfect and scripted as so many others are these days. Gives it a more realistic feeling on how work is done with the normal problems that you come across.
The MOT in May 2019 at 66k refers to all 4 tyre being perished, so although those tyres have a 2018 manufacturing date they’ve only been on the car for 2 years and 500 miles. Lovely motor, delight to see one so well cared for.
You need to stick that in the storage bit next door. What a beauty
The car looks really clean! Great find
another great upload guys, what a very nice car the clubsport is and very collectable now, you might get a shock when you see what they selling for now and not many for sale with the low miles your car has, good luck guys you both well deserve it
I really like the 3 series, that is a great car to whizz about in, always looks classy and the right size to cut about in whether in town or a longer drive.
I had a couple of these a few years back (although not a Clubsport) - they're very competent cars, and quite practical too (split-folding rear seats, which aren't standard in the saloon). One was a manual, the other an automatic. In all honesty, I think the automatic suits the character of the car better - it's more an effortless cruiser, than it is a B-road slayer. Such a good looking thing compared to the E90 (and I've got one!). Well done for finding one that hasn't got rusty body panels.
I’ve got some he same noise coming from my front brakes which have new disc’s and pads gunner try the same thing Chris did!
OMG Rob and Chris, I certainly did not know that the M3 came in a Club Sport Edition. I can't believe that you bought a truly wonderful example of a rare BMW. Thank you for sharing this video with us all on TH-cam, Keep up with the good work Rob and Chris.
It’s not a m3 bud but still a very nice car 👍
What a beautiful car and given the boys that can treatment some lucky punter will have a real diamond .Congratulations boys .Stick a good battery on it from Kent auto salvage .Drive it Rob and enjoy .KTF. London Paul.👍🇬🇧
Chris is like a wizard another great video as always
Learning so much from this chanel. It's obvious really. Low volatage on a battery will throw up codes. Nice bimmer
The gearbox position switch can be very intermittent. Mine tended to put the light on only in very cold weather, then it started doing it more often so I swapped it.
Always liked BMs quality cars,and that is a beauty with no miles,lets hope you make a bit of dosh.
Dave,remarkably still sunny Norfolk.
first reg in Scotland guys im sure the under cover traffic cops had a few of them and the SF on the plate was used by Strathclyde police and fire and rescue just some useless info great vid
Just what you guys needed.l Cheers, Bob
That’s an absolutely lovely bm! Especially in that colour! I do love an e46! I would put that in a classic car auction mate, that would make a great video for the fans! Anyway enough waffle and ill see you both in the next one ☝️
Good looking car. No real faults to speak of. Great buy.
I had the 325 coupe, a lovely car.
Probably low battery voltage due to being standing a long time ? I have similar issues with my Jaguar if it has stood for about a week.
Regarding vibration, you could have one pot in the brake calipers sticking , again with it standing.
You may need to step hard on the brakes to free it off again and get it hot and free. The car needs running and not standing.
It is true that they throw up codes with a dead battery. I had a super comfy 1998 E39 but I hardly used it due to illness. It used to sit for three months at a time and by that time the starter just clicked followed by a raft of faults on the dash (in text, not just the symbols most had).
Just recharging the battery started it fine but the fault codes was stored in memory. I bought a cheap diagnostic reader just to clear the codes and the service lights. I had that vehicle for 16 years and to this day, I still miss it . Out of curiosity, I checked on the GOV website if it got taxed since and yeah, its still going to this day.
