If your lucky try to find an E46 ZHP Sedan, These were pretty awesome.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-3-Series...torefresh=true Had an E30 ( 325is ) It was a blast but super hard to find rust free where they dont want a ton of money... Any E36 ( 328/325 ) iS model would be a blast too, Pretty reliable if it was taken car of.. Happy Shopping!

Agree. Had a 2004 330i ZHP with 6MT. Great car and loved it. Only got rid of it because I got a 2006 M3.

'05 330i ZHP
I definitely recommend a ZHP if you can find one in great condition, but you'll be paying for quite a bit with low miles.
I was lucky to find one and bought this back in Oct for my son with 55k miles on it. I jumped on it as soon as I saw it. Very well maintained by the original owner and was in excellent condition. The one listed above from ebay is marked up like hell. When ever I can, I drive it when my son is not using it.

Thank bro! I told my son he's rollin' with a car like that. Not many 19 yr old drives one. I certainly wasn't driving one at that age. The ZHP is parked next to my 235i and it's a about the same size. That's why I love the E46s, they are still smaller in size to maintain a great driving agility.

I think the E46 is a great platform. My first Beemer was an E46. Great cars! In fact, that Steel Blue/Black '02 325i Sedan is still owned and driven by brother. Nearly 190K miles and still going strong. Certainly, some of the plastics are wearing out on these cars. So, maintenance will be necessary. However, with great resources like E46 Fanatics, you'll do just fine

I will say, I recently drove a friend's 275,000 mile 2001 325i E46, that had not been well maintained. I was checking on the clutch wear. I was impressed on how good shape the car was in considering the level of abuse it has seemed to gone through.
