BMW e46 2007 Review

A vehicle is something that we all want. So many people achieve their ambition of owning one. Some must wait a little longer to realize their dreams. Many who want to buy a car choose European models over Japanese because there is a significant difference between them. That is why we at CarsGuide decided to analyze a European vehicle that costs the same as a Japanese vehicle today.
That is the 2007 BMW e46.

Exterior Design

Let’s take a look at the exterior design of the BMW e46. We are all aware that BMW cars have a refined appearance. This varies slightly between models. The vehicle we’re discussing today has a long hood, a short front overhang, and a compact rear. As a result, the vehicle has a relatively sporty appearance.

So, when we look at this vehicle, we can see the BMW-exclusive Signature Kidney Grilles. You can also see the BMW badge above it.

We can notice Angular Headlights. These are distinguished by angular, clear-lens “angel eye” rings. These headlamps have given the car a distinct appearance.

Smooth Body Lines are something that cannot be overlooked while discussing BMW’s front design. The vehicle has a beautiful and aerodynamic appearance thanks to these body lines. In a nutshell, this design will never go out of style.

When it comes to the wheels, 18 inch alloy wheels are available. These measurements may vary in sporty versions. The ground clearance of this vehicle is quite low at 130 mm. Although traveling on a slightly potholed road is challenging, due to the low ground clearance, it is possible to get a good performance.

When discussing the vehicle’s back view, we start with the LED tail lights. The BMW badge can then be seen as usual. When it comes to boot space, we can see that it is quite substantial with 410 liters.

Interior Design

As soon as you step inside the BMW e46, you can see that it was built with high-quality materials. This vehicle’s build quality is excellent.

When we initially enter the drive cabin, we notice that we have been provided seats with a good holder. Even with adequate head and legroom, it is difficult for a tall person to drive long distances comfortably.

When it comes to the steering wheel, a global steering wheel is given. This is created in such a way that it gives us a sporty vibe. It also has a decent grip and is simple to drive.

In terms of the meter panel, an analog speedometer and rmp are included. The dashboard has also been given a two-tone finish for a more athletic appearance. On the top of the center console, there are two AC vents, AC control switches, and gear levers. The shutter switches are located in the center console itself, which is unique.
The passenger interior is less pleasant than in previous versions. This is due to a lack of leg and headroom. Furthermore, because there is a floor hump in the middle, three passengers cannot travel in the back.

Performance

An inline 6-cylinder engine powers the BMW e46. This engine has a 228 HP output and a torque of 300 Nm.

The 6-cylinder inline engine is coupled to a 6-speed manual transmission.

From 0 to 100 km/h, this vehicle takes 6.9 seconds. The maximum speed is 247 km/h

Ride Quality

Now, let’s have a look at how the BMW e46 2007 car rides. It provides the driver with an excellent view. The engine noise can be heard in the cabin while driving. However, this is a car with a good pickup, and simple to control. As a result, we may expect a generally decent ride from the BMW e46, which matches its name and appearance.

Safety & Technology

Six air bags have been provided to demonstrate how seriously the vehicle manufacturers have taken passenger safety.

The safety features also include traction control, EBD, cornering brake control, brake energy regeneration, and electronic brake assist. Other optional safety features include an anti-theft alarm, blind spot recognition, and parking sensors.
