BBS? Overpriced rims smile.gif
*
LOL I think overpriced is the original M sport rims from the BMW dealerships smile.gif

M sport rims can go from RM15k - RM23k

BBS still affordable, around RM6-RM8k depending on size and models. Roughly around the same pricing for OZ rims as well. Will try to avoid replicas especially after my experience with them from my past Civic experience and Golf experience.

Oh yes, if you're talking about 17" then around that price biggrin.gif I have in mind the 19" which is easily above RM10K for BBS. The others are normally lower than RM10K
*
Wah 19" too large for me, I think my ideal would be 18"

Clawhammer. Thanks for the information. How much normally a routine maintenance charged at AB?
*
If you are getting it from the dealers such as Quill, Auto Bavaria or Ingress, you can opt for either 3 years BRSI or 5 years BRSI. That means for either 3 years or 60,000km mileage, your routine maintenance such as oil change and minor changes are all free. Just sent my car in for the 20,000km service, didn't pay a single cent. Funny thing was that I sent it in at 19,000km to replace a blown bulb and they just said why not service it at the same time.

Seriously iDrive is amazing man! I love watching DVD's in the car while being stuck in the jam on an amazing 10" screen, bluetooth for my phone so I can answer calls and make calls just pressing a button on my steering, streaming music from my iPhone or online radios and the navigation system as well.

I thought iDrive will automatically switch off video once the car is moving... ?

It will show a black screen and you can still hear the video in the background while the car is moving but there is a way to remove that and have the DVD player play DVD's while you are driving brows.gif brows.gif brows.gif

How to do that? Need to hack the software?

No hacking required, just need to untick a check box using an OBD2 port cable and a software.

Service is available from the BMWclub malaysia forums. There is a guy there who does coding and he can do this with lots of other freebies thrown in biggrin.gif

yeah, that's what I thought as well, regarding the cost if parts broke down wink.gif
if we were to go by the ad, the car is new right?of course, manufactured about 1+ year back,but new right? smile.gif
*
Bro the car is a recond car so it won't be new, the 1 year warranty I think comes from the 2nd hand dealer. If you do decide to go for it make sure you know what exactly is covered in the 1 year warranty and get it in writing.

But how come the mileage is less than 5000km huh? Do they reset it?
Thanks for the heads-up..never would have thought of that, but no plans of getting it now..doing research first  smile.gif

waah..was it the hardtop kind like in the link? or the soft top? I've seen many of the older soft top models, very few of the hard top ones..n for some reason, never saw ppl driving with the top down! rclxub.gif
*
That is the scary bit because we don't know how to really track those kind of things, it really does seem to be quite suspicious especially if it is very low mileage.

Point taken, already understood though. More feedbacks are good for me to make the final decision between this or an Audi.

Yeah I had the same issue as you did, was looking at a recon 335i versus a new car. Decided to go with the new car instead.

Another option is the F10 535i perhaps? smile.gif AB has brand new units with warranty and I believe there is a step up financing plan?
*
Might as well go for the new F30 335i biggrin.gif 4-doors, HUD, sports version and get it in red! That would be the best and ideal situation for me. But alas, the damn car is >400k.

Hahaha different style of driving bro, I have seen a 5-series M5 trying to go up the hills, susah man to control a beast like that.

Hmm... scirocco? hmm... yeah that could be good. but is it as good as the golf gti? I had one. hmm.. nvm i'll check it out when i'm back.
*
If it is the 2.0 Scirocco, I would dare say it is better than the GTI. Same power and all but the Scirocco beats the Golf in terms of handling due to its nature of having 2 doors and also a lower stance.

Don't forget to calculate the lengths of the loan. Not many banks now offer 9 years loan if you put in 10% downpayment. Best is to take a loan with BMW Credit, longest period they loan if I am not mistaken is 8 years.

its just a bulb, but just to let you know. Even if you change the bulb it won't really be noticeable as the bulb is pretty dim. Don't expect it to be as bright as the f10 ones sweat.gif

and yeah u can find it on mudah and other websites from rm250-400

Good luck thumbup.gif

Find the higher wattage ones, mine I bought was only 6W and they are not bright enough. There are some that are 10W, haven't had a chance to try them out yet.
