[QUOTE="Mimi, post: 715825, member: 43373"] Hi all sifu and forumers, I am newbie here and just intro my self today. Ekceli..i wants some opinion and tots about having/ owning the BMW. I am currently using japan car and i am planning to move. I have been arround this forum (as visitor) quite sometimes...just to learn, see, and study about E46 and i would prefer to buy a 318i sooner (second hand). I just curious to know the tips how to buy a good/ fair condition of E46 in the market...anyone can advise is highly appreciate :) My questions: 1. I would like to know what mileage can consider OK for second hand E46? how about the years of manufacturer? which one is come first to look at in buying those car. I notice some of them clocked at below 50km for 2003 car...is that too good to be truth? 2. Direct owner vs Kedai kereta...which one is better to buy the E46 with cash? i mean in terms of the car history. And also what things to look at when buying this car? (i.e check the engine, gearbox..or even send to inspection first to diognose?? ) 3. How much minimum cash i have to spend on the E46 once i bought it from used car or owner? some say might not less than 5k? To refurbish back the car to a OK condition. 4. I have'nt drve a BMW before...is it worth to own? but for sure i am hunger for its comfort..i have no problem to maintain it..Rm1k per month will spares for it ;) Thats all...hope forumers can share their opinion and experience..cheers!
