Could you get an E46 for under 15k?

Yours is an E36...



Actually the E46 started its run in mid 1999 so his very well could be an E46. I would assume he would know which generation code 3 series that he has.

Mine is an E46 - 1999 328i sedan. The sedans switched to the E46 body in the '99 model year, the coupes for '00. I paid $12,900 for mine 18 months ago with a full service history and 99,960 miles in great shape so the deals are out there if you look just a little bit. I would assume that a similar car would be less now but I haven't looked lately.

The classifieds in Roundel are typically overpriced, search locally with autotrader.com or cars.com. With some negotiation a CPO warrantied car with 70k miles could be had for $16-17k all day. For $15k a private party sale ought to be easy, especially near West Point with NYC, Philly, Northern Jersey and Boston within a couple hours' drive and DC not much further (where BMWs are thick as flies).
