Garage List
In 2012 I bought a 2002 E46 318i as a daily driver.

I bought it for R77000, with 120k km on the clock with a FSH, mostly from BMW.

Within the first 4 months I had to spend over R20000 on small things that went bang, from window regulators, Vanos controller, radiator and even the radio.

I later found out that the E46 318i was the most unreliable E46 made, with the N42 engine being the worst aspect of all.

I drove it for about a year, and then sold it.

If I were in your position, I'd sell it asap.
