Look up the following as they were issues with the 330ci.

The radiator gets brittle as it is plastic and can develop a hairline crack and leak. I had to replace mine at 90k.

Also water pump tends to go. Easy to replace and change out all pulleys while you're at it.

Chrome on the inside of the Xenon headlights starts to fall off and you end up with dim headlights. There is a ebay kit for this which seems to work.

This goes for all cars I suppose but make sure the headlights were never hit. They are expensive and all aftermarket options I have seen for the e46 absolutely suck. I literally was dealing with nonsense on that car for its entire life until I just paid up for oem expensive ones.

Love the e46 m3. If I had a garage I'd probably get me one of these. Good luck.
