Go second hand if possible. in the first year, it costs me about Rm5k to maintain n to replace a few things, got stranded  more than 10 times.in the middle of busy road..thank god they have tow trucks..I am with Kurnia, they are good with instances like this and their tow trucks are available 24/7.. .. after that it started to settle down a bit...may because i don't drive it that often, i go to work by LRT every day.. Money in the early years should be spent in some investment a/c somewhere..after you are about 27-28 year old with more money<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /> , only then you go shopping for real car! at least this is what robert kiyosaki in rich dad says..haha.. but if ur heart is already set on it, what can i say..but please buy much later e36 318i cars, they have better specs and durability...and lastly dun be too rough on your machine..and sometimes pushing it too hard when it's not up to it may mean more visits to workshop...so always watch for its limits..</blockquote>
