E46 buying and subframe issues

[Rik178m]

Going to see an E46 330Ci sport and an E46 325i compact sport tomorrow so any buying guides or tips from anyone would be much appreciated.

I've been told about the subframe mounts ripping off. How would I know if these 2 cars could of been effected by this defect? (obviously look at the subframe mounts) Are there any other things I should be aware of?

Cheers Rich p.s. Im still keeping my E30 I wouldn't dream of selling it!

Coupes from 2000 on were not affected by the problem of the floor pan cracking near the diff mount. This includes all 330ci's and 325ci's as they came out in late 2000.

Iirc it was only 328ci's and 323ci's that were effected with this problem and only coupes.
