Shoutout to my buddy Jeff for letting me film his 04 3 Series! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I agree with how well this car has aged. I am not a big BMW expert, so I was surprised this model is 13 years old.
agreed.. i bought a 2004 just like this last year with 67,000km on it... hard to tell it's 14 years old
@@azabuvsobelo5687 Exactly I'm stationed in UK and here they aged well.. besides the rust. God, the amount of cars with rust on them is atrocious makes me miss AZ haha
I have this car, purchased/ordered in late 2003 and picked up in May 2004. It has 5-speed manual transmission and 84,000 miles on it. I still love this car as much as I did in 2004. It is enormous fun to drive and still looks beautiful (garaged). Every time I think of getting something newer, somebody talks me out of it. (The only "problem" I have had is that the young runners who bring the cars around when I go for inspection don't know how to drive stick. Pathetic. 🙂)
Thank you for a thoughtfully prepared and professionally delivered video! Well done.
6:36 I love those LED Amber turn signals. I wish more automakers would make LED Amber turn signals because it looks awesome!
Anything In Videos just move to Europe then, they are all orange here
I just loved the bodies of the 3 series cars made between 2000 to 2004. I'm not really a fan of the newer models.
I owned exact model, color, year and engine. And I owned a few e92 coupes as well. THat e46 was my favorite car and would love to get it back. Just timeless and very well made. Love it!
You know the name of the color
Hey Cameron, can u do a review about VOLVO V90....tnx !!
It looks so good😬👌
damn 2004 And new Brake calipers nice, im rebuilding My E92, Calipers, Drilled rotors, Performance pads everything.
Kels Monti ひ Awesome man!
I love mine. a friend of mine is a BMW technician for almost 2 decades. I plan to get two more. 2004 bmw 325ci. Is the best Bmw to get. Not to mention you’re more safer in the 2004 then the 2022.
Great Review...I definitely like the camera views...This vehicle is in pristine condition for sure...The most ironic thing is that the gauges in the IP are still quite similar to the current models.
I love my 2006 325 ci bought it for really cheap 3.5k
now I need to change my oil soon, and change the air filter. This car is worth it. The only down side I dont like my care is that its auto and a Manuel, I personally wanted a full Manuel.
Do you still drive it? If so how was the maintenance?
@@aaronespinoza6626 I currently don't have it as i have sold during the mid of covid, I had it for 6 years. If you keep up with the oils and coolant, it really helps to prolong the engine. Yes, maintenance is a little bit more extra, it is nothing like a honda civic or a toyota coralla. If you do it yourself, that will save money the long run, and if you are know what you are doing such as dealing with the VANOS. I say get a old BMW the non turbo engines, anything before 08 or 09. Ride it as a sunday drive, save some money, and get a civic, for your daily drive. MOST IMPORTANT, always enjoy the car dont do it to impress your friends, and even race.
I love your bmw I am big fan
Hey Cameron, can you do a review of a 2017 Kia Soul + with the Primo Package, and by the way, the Soul actually competes in the sub-compact crossover class such as the Toyota CH-R, Mazda CX-3, Jeep Renegade, and the Honda HR-V.
I have the same car 2006 325ci e46 (sulev) in black great car!!! No problems. the only complaint is the headliner started peeling apart a year ago, they charge between $500-$1000 to fix the whole thing (A pillars, sun roof, etc..)
Humberto R If somebody quoted you that much they are ripping your head off FYI
had my airbag recall done
How many miles is yours at
is that so expensive to maintain ?
Is the 04 325ci a e46? This is my first car and I’m excited to see what upgrades I will do in the future
Do you still have it? If so how is it n how often does it need attention
I Have one 130 miles champagne color Love It
can you review skoda octavia vrs please!
Ihab Hamamreh doesn't live in Europe.
I agree tho I had a brand new rental 328 Besides the technology is like driving a Honda, I would say my 2004 sound system is better and it corners better
Clean
Correction: it came in a six speed manual, that’s what I have
E39 and E46 are the best bmws ever made
Matthew Tyler uhm e36?
boboprime2000 E36 is good to but to many kids get them wreck them and you cant find a good unmolested e36
E39 true !!
boboprime2000 the E39 was the 5-Series of the time.
Is this an good first card? I was thinking about this or and 2011 Ford fusion
Hey did you end up getting this car? I just bought it and was wondering if it’s a good first car
@@priscillaquidera5427 I don't see why not. Might have high cost for upkeep.
E46 is my favorite.
So how much gears those the auto manual have ?
5
Hey Cameron can u review a 2006-2011 BMW 3 series sedan !
Sure!
hi guys my fuel consumtion sesor stuck on 12.5liters wont go down or up any advice
Scan the car with a BMW scanner. INPA recommended. It will tell if any sensors are failing. Check all vacuum lines. Failing intake or exhaust cams and failing DISA can cause significant increase in fuel consumption.
💯
Decent car if you buy a good used one, wish I would have bought a 330
Yup. I got one for $3,000 off of marketplace 130,000 miles 4 years ago. My family thought I was crazy and thought it would break down but the previous owner took care of it like a baby and it lasted my all the way to 200k miles.
What engine is that? Looks quite different from the standard item, which is canted to the left (as you look from the front), has a different pattern of plastic cover, and the oil filler is much further back.
I think its a M54
@@lkg972 My 330ci has the M54 engine, looks nothing like that one.
@@shanehnorman I recently looked at a 325ci and the engine was exactly that. Strange
@@lkg972 Maybe it was diesel? Here's what the M54 looks like in a petrol e46: th-cam.com/video/JIWOQiiWPno/w-d-xo.html
M56b25 its a CA, engine for emissions. Look it up all other were m54 that weren't designed for CA
I got 2 5speed's sedan and a couple
Does this covert 🤦🏽♀️ I have the same car it’s supposed to be a convertible too
When people say DONT BUY A BMW. its because they truly have never owned one. No other sports car drives like it.
Brandon Garcia I agree, I have an F30 3 Series with 106,000 miles and it’s been a fantastic car. I never buy brand new cars though.
Camerons Car Reviews 2006 bmw 330i coupe or infinite g35 coupe
why u didit show the back seats
I have this car but 4 door
Can this be a good first car? 🤔
@InnerGuide why?
No, BMW are not reliable and very expensive to fix. Toyota or Honda are reliable and easier to fix.
@@B0RNfree aww man
Would this be good for a first car? Im thinking about buying one with around 130,000 miles
Big Smoke make sure you Carfax it my nigga
Hell no.
Jay Polo u end up getting one?
Did you get it?
Have voice recognition but no lcd 🤣
This is my car, but mine has a engine smoking issue 😂
Do more used cars!
Is this a good first car?
BigBen it's an awesome first car. You get lots of luxury fir cheap.
Yes, it's my first car and I love it!
Yes and NO if you have the skills to fix it then yes but if not labor rate is very high on a BMW im considering one because i am an Auto tech so i can fix it on my own
yes, but get a part time job lol. bought a 323ci as my first car for 4k and owned it for 5 years. in total I put about another 4 thousand into the car.
2.2 litre you mean
2.5 man
It's a 5 speed automatic, isnt it?
Yeah
I’ve whooped so many of these with my g35
5:20 haha awd 3 series e46? Please show me one 😂
330Xi models
I'm an idiot... ive never seen or heard of an e46 X drive model in the U.K. before
There is you know. But it is really unpopular
Damn bro ur arms are hairy @2:06
I saw the automatic gear selector and stopped watching. Thumbs down :(
congrats
LotusVette84 clearly you don't live in the U.S. because 90% of cars made here are fitted with autos because people here are too lazy to drive manual. Go learn the facts before you state your opinion. It even has manual shiftability so you are definitely butthurt.
camav04 whats wrong with you lmao
