i don't quite get your point though
i'm only talking about the engines sold by bmw malaysia here

http://paultan.org/2007/01/17/bmw-launches...eries-facelift/

272-14=258HP. i really remember early batch of N52B30 getting only 258PS, same as the 330i E90.

sorry if i did not get your point or anything
btw the supercharger is very nice.

wonder how's the v8 in 545i though

nice tip there
also a 2007 525i at rm170k is really cheap too
i thought we can only get 2004 one with that price

325i which model? e90 ? e46 ? etc
i've driven the e90 325i only once
comfy and quiet but not as quick as a golf gti

as you already know this car is damn rare, you see it like once a year

it's a nice ride
but i think it's better to ask BCM forummers
won't be easy to maintain, 7 series + V8 summore

so you drove less than 190km/h but managed to did 1hr30min? somewhat sceptical

what car? e60 525i?

yesterday visited bmw dealership

checked out many nice used premium selection cars

750Li e66, z4 35is, 135i...

that salesman is very kind, poison me to get the 135i 2010 model for rm350k(can't afford lol), he said can test drive

and then also i revved a 1 month old m3 e92's engine till 4k rpm in the basement, so damn loud lol, of course don't want to rev till 8k redline cause of cold engine and it's indoors

what year is it? that's important to know.
is the speedo dial in mph and kph? means the mileage is 210k km? although i doubt it will be 210k miles

630i e63 all same engine with 530i after 2006, they don't use the M54B30 3.0 on 2003-2005 530i e60

go to bmwmalaysia forum and do research there, see how the owners replace what item at what shop, at what price, also when to change etc

usually higher ends like 7 series requires more maintenance since it has more gadgets

you need patience, time and money to keep this kind of cars, but when it runs well, the feeling you get is priceless

never heard much prob with the turbo in 335i. or maybe you knew more, i'm not sure.

it's very rare to see a 330i e90 in malaysia. you either go 325i, or if you have more budget, you skip to 335i. same roadtax 330i, but way faster. higher price of course. sedan version of 335i is even rarer.

Added on November 19, 2011, 3:57 amare you swapping it with your e60? you mileage is quite high at 200k, but it's way better than those conmen in the 2nd hand dealers tweaking the mileage

Z4? cool. maybe can get a 2005-2006. which engine? my uncle just got one. previous model z4. he also has e90 325i, e90 320i LCi, mk5gti, mini cooper S.

e36 and e34 are still nice for me

e21 definitely older. smaller number is older.

i know. i still like e36 328i and e36 m3 3.2

and oh, an old E36 M3 smoked my golf gti like no tomorrow in plus highway last time; corners and straight

reasons to swapped to nissan engine?
cheaper roadtax, more power, easier maintenance.
i dont really support it though

that's E46 pre facelift. if you have extra for maintenance, then it's good. 318 or 325?

yes; they are more exp and more rubbish comfort. just get the normal tires with the puncture kit or something; dun remember the name

assuming you are talking both about the post 2009 FL version, the 325i comes with Sport version with 18" rims, sports suspension, i drive etc.

what year is your e60 again? high mileage with highway miles and heavily maintained is better than those low mileage you see at 2nd hand dealers

2003 car already 350K KM? seriously wow
u stroke the 2.5L into 3.0L and now it is producing the same output as the M54B30 3.0? same r/tax?
gb out you can always convert manual see paultan's e39

and oh 535i F10 is a monster

very nice collection.. got pics?

328i e36. still one of my fave.

bmw.de ? no english version?
how much?

apparently the m5 doing donuts is photoshopped

btw this saturday might go to AB glenmarie to check out the F30. anybody can test drive?

a bit steep for me, i'm also a bit awkward.. euro to MYR is multiply about 4 or 5 right?
this one who driving? sit beside also good enough.....visiting germany summore. rm10-20k out easily

how do you compare 330ci with golf gti? u own a gti as well? ppl say gti is faster in acceleration but top speed wise 330 on paper is considerably higher

sorry forgot yours is 525i or 530i?

recently test drove my uncles 2006 525i, with 19", bodykit, quad exhausts etc.. too bumpy.. the car is spacious though. but didn't drive it fast so cant comment much

i had a look at the F30 too. i am disappointed of the interior. quite dull. the exterior is very nice in my opinion.

perhaps during the innovation day higher revving petrols are more fun and powerful
320d is superb for daily drive for its effortless torque, superb economy and range.

Ahh.. E65 7 series with V8.. drool! comfort, toys, presence of it.their price are also tempting..
but maintenance especially for early 2002-2003 model must be a nightmare, more so for a V8.

if possible get the e90 320d instead.. what do you think of the D? E90 models surely cheaper so that they can clear the stock
