help with a 330xi
Hello all First I like to say thanks for a great forum. I am now looking at a e46, 2003 330xi Touring. How is the engine on that model? Good? Last for lots of milage? What kind of mpg can I get? Did hear about 20-22 mpg. Is that right? Is there some things I need to lookk out for, when buying it? All help is good. Thanks Best regards Vegard |

The e46 (that's the BMW model name for a 3-series that year) 330i engine is very powerful and an overall nice engine. I haven't driven one personally but my brother once drove one, and it's a really good engine. Lightyears ahead of the 320i. And it will last long if you maintain it properly. The Touring is generally a good choice already, as it's sporty and can load a lot. The X-Drive is my favorite AWD system... Are you planning on keeping your 850ci? |

Thats a good engine, I have spent a decent amount of time in a 330ci and it is strong. I believe that with good maintenance it will last for quite some time. I'm guessing your probably pretty close on the mpg that you can expect. |

hi...lol where in Switzerland are you? I live near the German/Swiss border and go to school near Stein am Rhein the x-Drive is like no other AWD system http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/XDrive http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BMW_xDrive the article is wrong, btw... the first x-Drive cars were introduced in the E30 series (my car's series) EDIT: don't forget to check out the websites quoted at the bottom of either wikipedia article |
