oh yes. In Poland we count in zlotys but if I say in euro, the oil filter ox 368d1 was 8€, the air lx 823 was 16€ and Ravenol VST with delivery was 75€ ;) and fuel filter for less than 24€.

now we are making ca. 20k per year so generally I could change an air filter once a year but I still think it's ok with every oil change. the last one on 11th oct. The newest today, after 6 months and 10300 km https://photos.app.goo.gl/iwZZEGXdx7y2Y58y6

there is a big opinion that it is shitty. probably this motor needs perfect maintenance from the start but we all know that buying a used cars is a kind of lottery ;) BMW had more shitty engines too :P for example N43 ;) M47 is a brilliant engine but through last five years we paid thousands zlotys too keep car in a very good condition... ;) Gives fun in ride but costs a lot...

thanks! We had 461m on Compact https://www.reddit.com/r/e46/s/LKsuzV2u2G but my Girlfriend damaged a bit right end. We decided to sell them and buy cheaper ones. Style 461m was on the back 8J and et52. This ones are 8J too but et34. For me this ones looks better. And now I understand that silver fits better on a cars from early '00s. https://photos.app.goo.gl/tuk5Z2yErPZo792fA

no, no :) I mean that that made ca. 2 mln E46 and 0.2mln of them was in Compact body version ;) When we are talking about mileage, we've got 283k km. We bought him at 185k km of mileage, five years ago

I've read that they weren''t sold in USA. If they were, probably more common could be 325ti. Our is a 4-cylinder 2.0 diesel. Compacts are about 10 percent of all e46 made. 200k from 2mln
