Don't be a typical Malaysian who can only afford the car but not the maintenance. If you can't afford it then don't buy it. Road tax and insurance are just one small part of the equation, think of the engine oil (RM600-800+ per 10k km change), tires (~RM6k every 20k km) and other stuff you have to pay.

why m3? it doesn't make sense to get one in malaysia.

It doesnt make sense when he wants to downgrade the engine.

thanks guys.guess im not ready for this car yet.
why m3?
specifically e36 328.
guess its the design,its flawless

m3 = 328 only those days?

Lol.

Get a stable income first, M3 not easy maintain

Anyone driving Z4 here? Wanna know about the feedbacks. I'm not concern about the space. So spacious or not, it's not a problem for me.

I'm more into details like isit recommended for buying, many problems or not etc...

Thanks guys

old is gold

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

the name of audio shop specialise in continental cars

dont spend ur money on M3 if you dont really afford..some of m3 parts are double the price compare with standard 3 series part. roadtax if not mistaken around 3500..inssurance depends of the price.

why the hell you bought m3 then downgrade the engine?

my couz got a z4. he uses it as a weekend car. its a good little car...as for reliability part im not sure

thinking of getting one?

new or old Z4?

Get premium Cobra microfiber towels to match your cars. OTC towels are just not good enough.

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

Worthless aint it?

I was well into the 5-figure income before I went for my first BMW although granted it was brand new. A recond Z4 would be quite a bit cheaper than any new BMW, just hang around the BMW forums before you jump in, way more sifus there.
