Well, that’s good.

e46 323 for $2000 yesterday

Something like in Europe. I would put LPG for this engine to make it more green but still having fun :)

I write from the European perspective, where E46 is not a luxury but one of cheapest choices. Maybe you are right about the US reputation

Or small kids

Buying BMW E46 with LPG is always a good idea. Small car (according modern standards) with great driving fun. Somehow you need to get to the train station, especially in rural areas.
