http://cgi.ebay.com/BMW-318TI-Hatch-...QQcmdZViewItem Here is a E46 318ti, not that bad looking, front end is a little different but I like, it would be pretty sweet to bring to the states. __________________

get one from Germany, there are importers here in the states, the price will be cheaper for a used one...plus it will be LHD, not RHD like that one. | | | | | 02-09-2007, 01:46 PM | #3 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 |
Importing a non-US spec car is going to be cost prohibitive. __________________ ...steven

You could probably get it shipped here for a couple thousand, but it's going to take 6 months to a year to get it fully converted. Wait for the 1 Series. | | | | | 02-09-2007, 05:28 PM | #5 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Florida Posts: 2,525 |
Wow.. That is still expensive.. I bought a 2003 5 series for just a little bit more than that with less than half that mileage. Do cars typically cost more in Australia? | | | | | 02-09-2007, 10:07 PM | #6 | | Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2006 Location: dorchester Posts: 700 |
the e46 is horrid as a compact..its def. not a very good seller.. dont think iv eva seen anyone under the age of 60 or women..(that is in no way a sexist comment just how it is!) driving a '46...where as the e36 does tend to be a younger persons car..all of this is of course just my opinion from wot iv noticed in my area!! | | | | | 02-12-2007, 02:40 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa Posts: 2,110 |
Ugh, those tail lights are horrible. Save your money, buy a 1 series. __________________
