there are plenty of e46 forums if you have a computer and internet. There is a recurring problem with rear sub frames on e46s, apart for that just make sure its serviced well etc. If its a 2000 car you're looking at rememver the cars nearly 9 years old so will have wear and tear etc.

Cooling system eg water pipes and radiator tend to give up.they use the same motor as the ones in the 318ti which is a n42/43. .brilliant motor if you take care of it but than again it can easily be the worst headache u have ever experienced if you dont keep a watch on the temp and service it

But dont they have a timing chain? That sux. Then I'll rather search for the 325i model..
