And Yes -  I have read the tons of advices, tips and extremely generous opinions posted by the pros in this forum and I must say they are extremely useful.And it has come to my conclusion that it is very likely I am going to go for a 2nd hand CKD unit, probably year 2004 onwards. And I have skimmed it down to the 318i, though I'd very much like to have the 320i but then again I believe (correct me if I'm wrong) there isn't much local CKDs 320i's around. And besides, my wallet doesn't permit to spend that much either.Anyway, I'm one who prefers to go all out for looks and the badge rather than performance so that's why the 318i will do just fine for me. I'm not so concerned about the regular servicing costs but rather how much do I need to prepare myself for the first "initial" service when I first get my hands on the car. It is advised by many forumers that one needs to standby some cash after taking delivery of the car to do some "first-hand" restoration and servicing first - (more cash if it's a CBU or Recon units).As such I'd like to enquire:1. What would be the current market price of a CKD E46 318i now?2. How much do I need to standby for its "first restoration" and servicing/maintenance?Thanking in advance to all out there. Cheerio!</p></blockquote><p></p>
