[QUOTE="aoch88, post: 545192, member: 8491"] Actually the engine is fine most of the time, I'm sure most people would agree. However for a BMW car, it's filled with sensors all over the place and you don't know which one and when it would fail :) I bought an AP car, it looks beautiful, mechanic checked it but let's be reasonable, will the mechanic take responsibility for something he missed out or he is wrong about during the check? A normal OBD check will also not reveal when one of these sensors would die or if the injector would fail, etc. It can only tell you that everything is fine at that point in time. On the other hand, 90% of the time, mileage has been tampered. After buying an AP recond myself, I can surely say that my next BMW would either be a used local CKD or direct from authorized BMW distributors like Ingress or AB. A premium selection car is definitely a better choice (if one can afford) because if something is broken like the sensors or cables, etc, it's easily thousands of RM but is covered by warranty. For AP cars, we're on our own. There's obviously a risk to take and the choice is ours :) It comes down to personal preference surely but I think people should weight the pros/cons before really deciding to go for an AP car.
