Had bmw do PPI, and it needs vcg, serpentine belts, lower front control arm bush, oil level sensor, and a battery (original to car). Not bad since i will DIY it. Otherwise excellent shape and well maintained.

Hillhucker, as soon as I saw that car I recognized it. Then I saw your Wiki note. :biggrin
Congrats on the car. When did you purchase it?

Finished paperwork a day ago. The car is in the Chicago area, so i am having it transported down here to me. I will be seeing it for the first time in about 5-7 days!

Very nice. Congrats again.

Year: 6/2003
Mileage: 46K
Purchase Date: Feb '09
Purchase Location: Dallas, TX
Purchase Price: $15K
Source: private party via craigslist
Options: ZHP, Blk Sapphire, Nat Brown leather, folding rears, Nav, H/K, xenons, sunroof
Now 64k mis. Manual trans., which is getting fresh Redline MTL this weekend, along with a new fuel filter.
Have experienced seemingly all of the classic E46/ZHP "issues," including a broken rear window regulator (easy DIY, $55 shipped w/ lifetime warr via Amazon) and blown-out CAB's (replaced w Meyle HD version = greatness).
Yet to do but needed: HVAC blower motor resistor pack (aka Final Stage Unit); voltage regulator.
Has the dreaded 2800 RPM hesitation. As many of you know, there's no real consensus on how to solve that. Some got rid of it via DME update, some via VANOS rebuild, and at least one guy via DISA replacement. Plan to check DISA flap & seal housing, replace VANOS with aftermarket rebuild, then DME flash if still needed.
Also experiencing erratic idle, especially in warmer weather. From what I have read, the new VANOS unit is the cure.
Mild VCG leak will be addressed when doing VANOS.
Currently in the midst of a thorough cooling system rehab that goes way beyond water pump & thermostat. Interestingly, MPG has risen noticeably with new idler & tensioner pulleys.

The car was in pretty good shape cosmetically and mechanically, just the usual chips and scraps from normal wear and tear. Coolant system had just a minor leak from the lower radiator fitting. After purchase, I replaced the cooling system, belts and fluids.
