that's the prefacelift e36, year 92-95
1k is dirt cheap, but LHD are priced really low here. who want to buy with the hassle of overtaking in trunk roads and paying tolls?
but of course E36 are nice cars. you got the entry level 6 cylinder 320i

thanks guys.guess im not ready for this car yet.
why m3?
specifically e36 328.
guess its the design,its flawless
*
m3 and 328i e36 are two different cars, what are you talking about here?
M3 could also be e92 or e46 or e36 or e30. and yes, downgrading the engine of an m3 makes no sense

Buying an m3 than downgrading it, is like buying a 50 inch LCD tv, and chopping it into half.

Worthless aint it?

hey brothers, am planning to get a 630i around June next year.

Any feedback about the car in terms of reliability, engines problems etc?

FC and maintenence is not what im concern about here..

Thanks for the replies in advance.

Thank you guys notworthy.gif

Are you getting new or used?
since a new 6 series is around the corner.

QUOTE(DaBestOne @ Jan 3 2011, 01:47 PM)
Yea 4.5 roadtax is high... And what's the point of getting 4.5? More power? Nah, 3.0 is sufficient for me....

Hmm, still considering, should I just get the 520i instead, 2nd hand.... hmmm hmm.gif
*
645Ci is actually 4.4L engine. but that v8 is just drool.gif

QUOTE(Johan-N @ Jan 3 2011, 02:26 PM)
dude if ur considering a 520i, i suggest you reconsider cause the 520i is SERIOUSLY underpowered.

suggest 525i and above for a lil bit of driving pleasure whistling.gif

or you can get like mine 530i with straight six producing 280BHP blush.gif  just enough biggrin.gif
*
yours is 2007 onwards 530i? really fast la that day smoked me

Thank you bros for the feedback... Hmm underpower eh?? I am not actually the kinda person that is concern about power, top speed, torque and all those etc etc... In fact I've been driving a 1.0 myvi for 4 years now, many told me before i bought the car, that the car is SERIOUSLY underpower!! I get along with it just fine, no complaints, guess that im just not the type of hardcore fast-and-furious driver tongue.gif

But who knows eh, once I get my hands on a beemer I might like the feel of having a more powerful car tongue.gif Well, gotta go test drive soon. See how it goes smile.gif Thank you bros smile.gif
A used or recond 1 bro. 630i is enough for me already. New 1 around the corner? Not really interested in new models, the price will be much more expensive...hehe
*
what i meant is the 6 series you're getting will drop in price and become outdated model.

exterior design for M3 and 3 series not same? most of the time i cant differentiate the difference between M3/M5 with 3 series and 5 series. In term of exterior design. Anyone own a F10 here?
*
there are some differences, like for e60 5 series and m5 e60, m5 e60 has 4 exhausts instead of 2, m5 badge below the signal, 19" rims, bigger brakes, different engine sound etc but normal 5 series can convert bodykit to m5 (only way to really tell is looking at roadtax, or you could listen to how it sounds)

almost the same for m3, but the e90 sedan front is not similar to m3 e90/e92 sedan/coupe

Anyone Own E46 328i ?I am looking at e46 actually.318i is ok for me as i dont really speed.So,Speed or not doesnt matter to me.I heard 328 is very expensive to maintain ?But the 328 price is very cheap.Just got poison of 530 performance,Makes me think about 328
*
the facelift 2002 318 2.0 is out of your budget?
of course prices of 318 and 328 will be similar, as many buyers are afraid of roadtax etc

QUOTE(teikwing @ Jan 26 2011, 11:51 PM)
hi guys, always been a big fan of the E46 since i was a teen. been working for few years now and saved enough cash to own one. am looking at the 1.9 318i which are currently selling for around RM62-75k for year 2000 to 2004.

this will be my first bimmer and got plenty of experience with japanese rides but not continentals. none of my friends own one currently hence would need advice on what to check and so forth. any common issues with the 318i?

it's almost a 10 years old car. would it be wise to get one? or should i look for the 2.0 facelifted version? budget is only limited to 80k. sad.gif

thanks in advance! smile.gif
*
i seen e46 318 1999 only at rm55-59k now.. so cheap
also the 1.9L only sold in 1999-2000. after 2001 the engine is replace by a 2.0L.
but buying a used bmw costing rm79k with rm80k budget is not advisable

the 335i is a 3.0 twin turbo, it's really fast, 40Nm more torque than e46 m3 as well.. can be tuned to be faster than e92 m3(turbo cars has great potential)
335i available here are almost all auto, with paddle shifters

2003 350Z 6MT
2008 RX8

335i e92 surely more comfy than e46 m3. m3 i think have a very hard suspension.
anyways, i like stock cars and my cars are stock too.

how hard is it? NSX and RX8 is ok, not too hard not too soft. the Z breaks ur back tho, really hard suspension. as long not like Z its ok. and how to differentiate facelift and non-facelift for the e46?
*
not too sure, haven't driven one
want manual or SMG? manual is rarer.
facelift is 2002-2005
preFL 1998-2001

but for M3, their front are not facelifted
if you see a FL e46 claiming to be m3, confirm fake doh.gif

QUOTE(clawhammer @ Feb 16 2011, 09:48 PM)
I think it will beat the E92 325Ci if it's modded correctly to unleash loads of horses but wait, the driver on the BMW might be having a great and fun driving pleasure compared to the driver of Wajalution at 250km/h (strong wind noise, exhaust which is terribly noisy, engine sound all over the cabin, etc) biggrin.gif At the end of the race, Wajalution driver is probably half deaf despite winning the race and the BMW owner will congratulate him for winning by a 5 seconds margin laugh.gif

hahahahahahaah

there are barely any 760 here, who wants to pay like 15k yearly for roadtax

If yours is a magnesium N52 engine then it's only rated at 231bhp smile.gif The LCI version N53 is 272bhp. There isn't any 280bhp engine in a 530i E60, not even the US version.

the 231hp 530i e60 is M54b30 and is not magnesium
the magnesium is N52B30 with 258hp and the LCI one at 272hp
