I thought the E46 was launched here in Sept or Oct 1998 ?
Maybe bought a RHD from Europe and registered here ????

They were launched June 1998 but weren't properly on sale until August. The R reg E46's were all BMW's own press cars.

I've seen an 02 plate E36 compact come in for work at Vines Gatwick when i worked there.
Loads of S, T and a few V reg E36 coupes, plenty of T, V and W reg E36 cab's.
The decent spec of that R reg E46 in the link points towards a press car.

Is it T or V ?
Btw why was the E36 compact registered so late ?
Wow a few V reg E36 Coupes ....? The E46 Coupe came out on T reg (a few still about) and V reg onwards ....
Any 56 plate E46 M3 CS or E46 M3 Coupes about
Have u seen any X reg E46 M3 Coupes about
Also strange how the E36 Coupe and E46 Coupe overlap over T reg quite a lot but V reg maybe slightly ?
And how the E46 Coupe stops on 06 Plate for most of the ones I seen and E92 Coupes start on 56 Plate except the few press ones on 06 Plate ?

Can't under stand why people are getting so excited about an early E46, its hardly a classic and wont be for at least another 20 years.
At the end of the day its just an old e46 big deal

Did the Pride come with four pseudo muso-idiots hitting it with drum sticks. If nothing else, Kia do provide us with laughably awful averts.

i have to say who ever came up with the idea of calling it a Kia Pride must have been having a joke, as much as i think the new breed of kia's are a decent motor, you had to have no pride what so ever to drive a Kia Pride
