I dunno, there's nothing but money pits for sale in Ireland at the moment, get the best possible car you can afford in the uk, swallow the VRT hit and know it'll be offset on maintenance in the future.

A good E46 is 20k, one way or another.

100% agreed!

While I'm not doubting you, if spending north of €20k on an E46, would it not make a whole lot more sense to go for an E92 instead - https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sal...coupe/21230905 (which has been discussed on here before). Sure neither are going to bottom out much further price-wise in future....

If I was in the market, it would be a no brainer TBH. Of course you can argue that they're different cars - the E92 being possibly more refined & road biased.

Discuss.

Problem a good e92 will cost you 30k in the end

If you buy a 10k or 13k or 15k e46 you will little get a solid car, but then the fun starts, service it, sub frame, whatever suspension parts need replacing, bearings, vanos....to get it spot on you looking at 25k, to get it half decent is 20k and the ones that have all those things done are not for sale. Same with the e92, the cheaper ones will all need money spent on them in the 5-10k mark, and they have some issues that are not cheap to fix. You might get lucky on a e92 and just get a good car that some chap can no longer afford to run or wants to run but that would be the exception.

2 more rod bearings, an extra throttle actuator, 2 more spark plugs. No measurable performance difference to an e46. Arguably worse build quality. Only pro for the e9x is the noise.
