Found on Craigslist. Mystic Blue on Black leather interior. Has the Cold Weather Package. Add states it has the Premium Package, but it lacks lumbar support so I do not believe that is true.
Other notes:
- One owner
- Navigation
- All maintenance records

A great price for low miles if everything checks out. Looks like it does have cold weather package (headlight washers), if not the Premium Package

Who so underpriced? Although the steering wheel has a zombie bite taken out of it.

Wow. That is tempting. Even on the wrong coast.

"ZHP is a garbage option anyway- just some cosmetic upgrades with a different cam and diff to claw back some of the performance lost fitting those hideous and heavy wheels. Any 330 with a 3.46 diff will smoke a ZHP every time. The whole Mafia thing reeks of childish behavior." - anonymous E46 fanatic

Price dropped to $10,000

I'm really interested in this one. Of course it's 3000 miles away from where I am. I spoke with the owner last night. He gave me the number to the man that has been servicing it. I am going to call first thing tomorrow. I will ask about the cooling system is there anything else I should be weary of? My plan is to fly out there and drive it back to Virginia. The owner seemed honest he did say it was in a fender bender right after he bought it.

It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with BMW's or the E46 platform, and I'm no expert, but E46 has a handful of maintenance items to look for. Most aren't immediate concerns, and the most significant at this car's mileage and age is probably the cooling system, which you already noted. Other things to consider:
- Fluids: BMW's official maintenance schedule is pretty stingy on fluid replacement. Consider replacing brake fluid (every year or so), power steering fluid (5 yrs, 30k miles), transmission oil (30-50k miles), differential oil (30-50k miles).
- Brakes: highly variable depending on the car's usage. Check rotor and pad wear. Consider also the brake lines are now 13 years old. My father's brake lines burst on his E39 540i a year or two after that.
- Filters: air filters and such aren't critical, but you might want to consider changing the fuel filter if it hasn't already.
- VANOS seals: I haven't had to do this on my car (it has similar mileage, 55k), but something to consider.
- DISA valve: can fail. Not a huge issue. Can be rebuilt.
- Spark plugs: probably could be replaced if they haven't been already
- Belts/pulleys: The pulleys are variable but last closer to 50k miles, belts every 30k miles or so.
- Suspension: Most ZHPs will have perfectly good suspension because worn shocks are hidden by stiff springs. However, my car at 50k miles were in dire need of new shocks and struts (rears would not rebound at all). I replaced front control arm bushings (FCABs) and rear trailing arm bushings (RTABs) when I did my suspension refresh. Again, not critical, but probably due for a refresh if it hasn't been done yet.
- Electrical items: window regulators can be failing, various sensors can be failing, it's highly variable.
- Battery: My car somehow came with the factory battery that was 10 years old. It needed to be replaced.
- Cracked subframe: this is pretty rare in low mileage, late model E46s, but always worth looking at
That list is by no means exhaustive, and most of those items aren't critical, just general wear and age items that need to be maintained. Good luck!
