[QUOTE="rifhamdi, post: 150881, member: 2895"] cheers for the above statement, jules... :ok: mechanical is the way to go with reliabilty not computerised black boxes... its the mechanical process or the mechanical moving parts that BMW was/and is famous for.... that means classics and oldies... all mechanical process and functions.. pure basic stuff. to rely solely on black boxes/computer chips/ECUs to communicate with the driver, engine management process, combustion process or the other works, then i think that will lead to problems or the shortcomings because electronics are not really THAT reliable... all microchips have a lifespan no matter how well one takes care of their vehicles.... if its just the basic mechanics of the car, then it will be very straight forward procedure to trouble shoot problems... without all the unnecessary headaches and diagnostic tools... pls take note, oldies are not that fast as the newbies, just the opposite here... got fight la but still... SIGH! and also number one headache or disease.... RUST! and require more TLC.... just my thought.... btw, when i read how much some of you have spent on your e46s, i nearly had a heart attack.... i dont think i can afford to own one based on the findings....
