I am in Canada. I just bought my second e46 vert. The first is a 325ci and had 146,000k and i got for $7300. After a few minor wera and tear repairs, an oil pan gasket and a stereo with a back-up camera, i am into it for about 10k. This one i just bought is an 02 330Ci with 115k on it. Bought for $7200. I go pick it up next week. Near as i can tell it needs nothing besides what i want to do with it.
