Yet I'm back with some other questions :)
This time it's for a friend who is not really internet friendly(capable/ready) :D Being a responsible friend, I'm here to seek help for him
He's looking to get a 2003-2005 E46 (he's fine with any 318, 325 or 330).
First of all his confusion is on the mileage. Is there a way of understanding if the mileage has been tempered with? Some 2004-2005 makes are around 85K-90K and being paranoid guy he's having a hard time believing these mileages are real.
His second concern is the steering wheel.. Some models have the 4spoke(or arm, don't know how it's referred to) standard steering wheel.. Is it possible to replace this with the 3spoke steering wheel? Transition will be from 4spoke, with control buttons to 3spoke with control buttons.. I've checked the forum and found one thread about this but that's kind of different and there was not enough information available. If possible any ideas how much it could cost?
And finally, he has spotted some ads with an LCD screen on the dashboard.. Now I'm guessing some models are factory fitted with this and basically it's just navigation. Does this have other features as well(similar to on board computer)? If yes. is it possible to get this installed later on(I've seen threads about this as well with one DIY but it'll be way too complicated for him I'm sure) and will it be just navigation, or the whole stereo system will be paired with it as well and of course on board computer thingy? Again, any ideas about the costs?
Thanks in advance to all the extremely helpful members of the forum..
