[QUOTE="merced88, post: 625177, member: 27983"] jwah, may I know which model is giving you problem? If your previous car is a used one ? May I know what sort of problem? minor electronic problem or some major problem i.e engine oil leak etc? I don't want a car that sit in the workshop more than I drive it. What's the point of having it and most of the time driving a backup car? I've gone thru the E90 maintenance cost. Seems like most of the repair is just oil change or at most normal wear and tear item which in term of cost looks like still okay for me. I've yet to see the repair cost >rm5000 or to >rm10000. Thus I'm thinking, if I get the mechanic to check it out and the owner/dealer could provide me a full service record then the maintenance is not really a problem. Let me know if my thought is valid or not. Let say I get a E90 i.e 4-5yrs old, once I've fixed the normal wear and tear, let say worse case 5-15k, then there's not more huge bill in say few years. As for the 320D suggestion, there's not much unit in Mudah. I heard that due to a lower diesel grade in malaysia, they've took out the filter from the diesel engine to enable the 320d to use our diesel. Thus in the long run, we won't be sure what will happen to the engine. And would that be the reason not much ppl getting it? And I don't see an AP for 320D as well ( correct me if you guys has lobang for it). Now come back to my problem. Let say I get a good condition 6yr old e90 325i. does an estimated 7k per year allocated for maintenance is good enough? say in 1 yr i clocked aroung 10k km? [/QUOTE]
