I have been MIA for the last few weeks due to starting a new job, so havn't been around here much lately..:( and have been searching for another car to use for work.

I had to buy a car yesterday coz I needed to get into work today so I rushed a bit, but bought one anyway, and so far I am very pleased with it.

It's a E46 BMW 323ise Black - Manual - 1999 on a V reg I also took out a 1 year warranty for parts and labour covering me upto £2000 for peace of mind coz it's got high mileage (unlike me but had to do it) but runs like a dream and very smooth and a solid car.

Such a shame though, I recently sold all my special BMW part upgrades, inlcluding, vented discs and pads, Remus Exhaust, Blue lighting, CD Changer, Loads of Chrome parts and much more which I could have replaced on this one.

Might be putting a leather interior in the car in a few weeks, I don't want to go over the top on modifications/upgrades on this one coz I will use it just for work and a run around but I will probably do a few bits to it to get it looking nice.

That means now I can start searching for a nice 328i se (which I have possibly found) and a Supra TT. The plan is to change the 323i se for the 328i se when I find the right one but at least I have a car for now.

Thats my update....:)

Sorry no pics yet coz the car is filthy and it's been chucking it down with rain today.

I picked it up yesterday about 4pm insured it at 8pm and went to work this morning and just got back. So as soon as I have time I will give it a wash and take some pics. Im going to have a good look round the car shortly coz still havnt done a thorough inspection.

Its nothing special though, nothing like my 328i se I had last year.

What was so good about your 328 mate? im guessing with the parts you sold that it was modified in a way?

I looked at a 323ci before i started looking to find my 5 series was a bargain aswell missed out by one day!

There are not many Black, Manual, E46 328i se's around with low mileage and in mint condition, even as standard without any mods.

High mileage on a BMW is not normally an issue though. Good old German quality ;)
