To me the E46 SE is definitely worth it esp if buying a used example. They are differently packaged (body kits, suspension etc) and looks different from the rest of the stock 325s. You can easily mark them out in traffic due to their low stance, tell tale rear boot spoiler, unique 17 or 18in rims and M tech body kit. You definetely get either admiring glances or looks of hate from others (more so on this version than the std 325i).In summary - they look fabulous! Its how BMWs should look actually. Driving wise, the difference I think will come from the tyres and suspension package thats different from normal 325is:- Due to the mixed tyre sizes - the SE has immense grip esp around corners. Useful if youre taking the car on track days in Sepang. Expect some feeling of  "tramlining" on uneven roads due to the big wheels (esp on 18in wheels version, not really on the 17inches).  - Slow ride quality is choppy - due to the sports suspension. Sometimes makes you a little nervous when pushing hard on bumpy highways, due to the stiff suspension again. But it feels "planted" on smooth highways.- Theres also the SMG version with 17in wheels (still mixed tyres - 255 at the back, 225 fronts). Great for track days, but may be a bit tiring in KL traffic jams. Ive got one of these...<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />So go for it.</blockquote>
