I wanted a E46 M3 but couldn't find one in NorCal that the price made sense. So I bought a low mileage 2003 330ci that I tried to improve with upgrades to exhaust, tires (staggered), and air intake. To date the best car I have ever owned, but my tuned 230i is getting close and once nostalgia fades away will probably replace. I also later owned a 325ci vert, but it was just pretty. My tuned 230i produces over 300 bhp with a 4 banger, has a similar beautiful balance of the E46 but not the road feel especially in the cornering (steering). I chose the 230i over the M240i for that reason.
