Maybe It also a opportunity for learning BMW car when getting one.Here the question,All my fren (without BMW) recommend me get the facelift version with N42 engine which they said more powerful (CKD)I have visit 2 used car dealer to look at e46 facelift, the condition not that good, and the pricing was around 48~50k OTR.which quite a burden for me. Because It just can loan 3~4 years with high interest rate and monthly payment with rm 9xx.I put my view on the non facelift version (CKD) with 1900cc M43 engine. when I mention to fren,they reaction were : walau.....u will regret, it damn underpower and u cant even win a proton on acceleration.but the pricing was marvelous and I maybe can buy it with cash (if with good deal).Need advise from otai otai or ex owner maybe current owner,m43 really that not recommend?m43 auto transmission was GM transmission with 4 speed or 5 speed?I awaiting good news with patient.Thank you</blockquote>
