• all the unloved ones have died or are on the way.

    Yeah absolutely. There used to loads of e46 330i’s for a grand - seems a lot of them must’ve just be driven into the ground.
    Hoping that my e46 won’t be a dud - one owner, 76k miles and a reasonable service history, although I’m not sure anything major was done in that time.
    New clutch and DMF will be the first “big” job.

  • if ever you need spares Nick Jupp specialises in E46 spares, based in Swanley edge of South East London 07828322483

  • I’m up north but will deffo keep a note of the guys number for the future - cheers.

    I’ll be getting a garage to fit the DMF. Don’t have the time or energy to try and do it off my back on the driveway tbh.
    Just spoke to a local guy and he wants to source the parts (that is to say he doesn’t want me to buy them). So waiting on a price. Looking online the kits can be anywhere from £300-1000 so need him to get back to me with a price for parts. He reckons £300 for labour. I don’t mind putting £700 aside for it, I’m less inclined to throw £1300 at it.

    Will get control arm bushings done at the same time too, along with diff and gearbox oils. Hopefully it won’t bankrupt me.
