Another quick drive in BMW 3 Series from 2002 in POV perspective. This time with inline 6 and automatic transmission. Recorded using DJI Osmo Action in 4k60 (RockSteady On) :) #E46 #320i #M-Galaxy
I like this driving style, its cool when you act responsible with cars, these "mash gas" are not mature audience, this is old car and you should go easy with them... Its not v12
Suspension feels solid - car is very well planted on the road and at the same time ride is relatively decent because of good damping and insulation (from various unwanted chassis noises). Steering is very direct and you get superb response and good sense of control over the car; if anything, for a sports sedan, it could be a bit quicker to turn - steering ratio. Level of engine noise in the cabin is slightly above what I would like but, on the other hand, it's a really nice and unique inline 6 sound (sounds a bit like a jet). It's naturally aspirated engine so it won't have as much torque in the low rpms as turbocharged motors but it has smooth characteristic and plenty of power for a daily driver, in my opinion. In the end I like driving this car. Amount of grip and very direct steering makes it a very joyful experience.
@@KaraLeo1 It's not my car but from what I know reliability is not that bad. It had one serious issue with coolant leak - water pump replacement. Cooling system is one weak point of those models, I believe. Other than that car is going really strong. Just be aware parts may be more expensive than some oridinary car. Consumption is around 13-14 l/100km in the city.
@@MGalaxy and more down on the open roads. Beside,you have an consuption indicator and you can adjust your driving anytime.I have an E 36 320 i,150 HP.
@@MGalaxy Coolant leaks are a problem on these cars at >100,000 miles. Expansion tank is plastic and thermally degrades over time. Trick is to catch it before you end up with a big coolant leak and consequent head gasket failure with associated trauma. Other than that the m54 is a really reliable engine. I ran my 2.2 m54 for 150,000 and I swapped a coupleof coilpacks and all the sparkplugs and I had a wee issue with the passenger seat occupancy sensor (easy ebay fix) but beyond that no problems for about 75,000 miles. Also I ragged it mercilessly once warm regularly although most of it's life was spent on cruise at 75mph on the motorway commuting to work. Very comfortable and refined car that was faster than you'd expect and more nimble too. I got into it from a UK 3rd gen MR2 that had 174bhp (at launch) and the BMW felt a lot faster. Much more useable power with the torque and rev'd to a decent 6,700 ish. The MR2 rev'd to 7250 so that was a bit of blow but the BMW is a six so it sounds really cool. Great car. Still got it and now restoring the bodywork which is a bit prone to rust on arches and suchlike. I would recommend one. Luv and Peace.
I am trying to be responsible and prefer to be gentle with the cars. Having said that this is an overall good point, I might occasionally include a little kickdown in the future videos - when conditions would allow 😉
I also have 2.0 6cylinder e46..what can i say the character of the engine sound is much same like this car. For me the engine sound more like to van engine😂.
Yes. It's a nice car. Though may be a bit expensive to fix here and there sometimes. It's a bit old and german so you know 😉 but engine is quite solid overall and car drives nicely. Keep in mind RWD may not be the best in the snow even though traction control is phenomenal on this car and keeps it planted.
It depends on the overall condition but if you like it and have some spare money to put, the car is worth it - at least I like this car. Perhaps worth looking at some other one with less miles but it all depends :D Engine should last (i6), it's a solid one apart from some oil burning issue (seals).
You arent supposed to use the blinker. You are in a BMW man
Car throttle 👍👍
That steriotype only really fits in with the E9X series that had wonky indicators that no one could figure out how to operate.
@@Basih nah its all bmws
There optional when u buy a BMW. U have to pay extra
@@diesel_man99 very original good one! 👍👍👍👍👍👍

That fan noise. 😢. Recently fixed my dad’s 2002 E46 320i. It has the same sound. Do you know how to get rid of it?
What is the fuel consumption? Great video btw.
13-14 liters / 100 km in the city.
i Drive City too but on the Country
very often Full Pedal to the Metal
i Need 8.5l
Have the same car also automatik my needs 9-11 13-14 is way to much. My boardcomputer says 9.1l/100
10-12 in city, 8-10 on open road
I don't know much about cars, this vehicle is economical
wtf.... am looking for speed.... where is the full throttle... Mash the gas like you mean it pal

Who are you blinking for?
All you guys including me take the piss however,
Still in a beautiful car 🙏🙌
How does this compare to the 143 hp 318i ? In terms of power and fuel consumption ?Thanks
318i 4 cylinders 2.0L 143hp ; 320i 6 cylinders 2.2L 170hp
Its way better
318 manual is faster than 320 auto
@@iranclassiccars I don't think so
@@iranclassiccars no, it isn't. But it's allot of fun
it drives like a ship
it must be lower
You have a good eye! Steering rack was little bit loose. It's fixed now.
What is that ticking noise?
the blinker obviously
@@Ziomek0 LMAO
Is that an auto gearbox?
it is automatic

in a Bmw you don't use the blinker...
Because the peasants don't need to know where the Boss is going ;))
where is dynamic drive???
Would you recommend buying it at 200k miles?

What about 150k?
@@Mrglahglah did you buy it? im gonna buy one witk 160k
How do you connect it to Bluetooth ??
The stock radio dosent have bluetooth but you can by an adapter to make it work
I can hear the coolingfan visco clutch is broken.
How well do you know this model?
What is the engine name??
Harry
Where do you buy the radio
Its factory equipment unit.
@@MGalaxy okey nice, it looks modern. Nice video
It's not the factory one, I'm not sure why he told you it is. I believe it's an older aftermarket unit.
bro why it sound like an airplane lol?
Haha, true, it really sounds that way, even more so from the outside. Funny inline 6 🔥
