That's what I thought for petrol engines, but the 320d also got the 6-speed with the facelift.jamie_z4 wrote: ↑Tue Nov 21, 2017 9:14 am All pre facelift coupes should have been 5 speed. I've owned over 25 e46s now many of them 330ci and even 03 plate pre facelift cars were 5 speed
They introduced the 6 speed box on all facelift coupes and saloon/touring after March 2003 build date.
The 325ti was the only non 3 litre e46 aside the m3 to have a 6 speed box

2003[edit]
In March 2003, the facelift (LCI) versions of the coupe and convertible models (except M3) were released for the 2004 model year.
Manual transmission for 330 models upgraded from 5-speed to 6-speed.
