With this intention, I know that I would have to put aside a certain amount, say RM 10K-15K, to replace the wears and tears that come with buying a "pre-owned" and getting it back into good running condition.You wouldn't really know which parts have been fixed and which parts not by the previous owner... and once you have fixed those wear and tear parts, you will then start to enjoy the ultimate driving feeling...put it this way, if most of the parts that you have just changed lasted 5-6 years (since manufactured), then you would be able to enjoy another 5-6 years without having to change (with regular servicing) that same part again ???Yes, I do think that a BMW requires a lot of $$ and TLC to maintain, but what the heck...in the end, I love the feeling of driving one...Just my thoughts...BMW ROCKS!</blockquote>
