QUOTE(ck23 @ Feb 4 2014, 10:44 PM) Planning to get E92. It's been discontinued and heading to 4series. My family hasn't bought a BMW before. All the while is just a big fan of Mercedes. I'm the opposite. Many ppl try to wash my mind that BMW is problematic than a Mercedes. Now it's kinda pull me back. I need opinion. For new F30, I won't go for it. I would prefer a 5-8years E92 after looking it up online. Pls... Anyone driving e92 or e90, tell me your experience. For me, petrol consuming doesn't a problem cuz I can claim it all to my company. Which E92 version are you looking to buy? E92 320i, 325i, 335i or M3? Each has their pros and cons |

QUOTE(ck23 @ Feb 11 2014, 03:44 PM) 325i. any problem with that? 335i 3000cc roadtax too expensive. M3 4000cc is even more. my house has one 3500cc, 4kplus road tax, its painful. So i would go for 2500 cc. I see, well there shouldn't be much problems with the 325i. The usual issues with the E9x series is either the AC compressor pump dying out or the ABS pump. Both of these costs a few thousand dollars. |

QUOTE(ck23 @ Feb 11 2014, 09:51 PM) Omg. I have been driving family car all this while. Really wanna get a nice dream car for myself. Was surveying e92. A few manufactured 2007. I told my dad, he said it's too old, it's 7-8years car. Many problems. So it pulled me back. But I can only afford below rm150k. What should I do?? Wait?? Actually I was gonna tender for BMW selangor plate. It would be a milestone for me. But I heard there would be a lot ppl going for it. If you are really adamant about getting a BMW, I would suggest if you could slowly search through the 2nd hand dealers to find one that is in good condition. There are a number of gems out there which might just fit within your budget. |

QUOTE(Investor YC @ Feb 17 2014, 02:27 PM) Bro, bmw 5 years and above most of the time will have gear problem or oil pump problem. Theses two problems is very common. Even my friend's dad has brand new e60, but 4 years later still oil pump problem and gear a bit like jerking. I also worried about my F30  . Oil pump problems tend to happen such as the ABS oil and also the fuel pump. Those are some of the standard issues with the older BMW's. Parts are aplenty here and it isn't that much to fix. The gear jerking for the E60 can be fixed, some of the symptoms is due to the solenoid problem in the gearbox. Bring it to a BMW transmission specialist to get it fixed. Your F30 gearbox is completely new! 8-speed ZF box if I am not mistaken. |

QUOTE(mugenz @ Feb 14 2014, 11:58 PM) Got 328i msport d? 3 months ago drop my car for service then kepoh with SA. He said currently is only 320d and 320i got msport. I really want the msport kit. In order for me to get the m performance kit, I need to install msport first. But original it's around rm10,000. Tbh I kind of butthurt knowing Msia road conditions. Then I need fork another rm15k for m performance kit. Price last checked 4 months ago. Mine is Melbourne red, so far I didn't see a red msport or m performance kit hahahaa Your SA is misinformed. The M-Sport versions are only for the F30 320d and the F30 328i. The M-sport for the 328i gives quite a good package because it also comes with adaptive suspension whilst the 320d just come with M-Sport shocks. Personally when it comes to bodykit, if you are extremely particular, you can opt for alternative sources instead of going straight to the dealers to get the M-Sport bodykit and the M-Performance bodykit. Several places such as Motorsport Division in Sunway are selling it together at a package for way less than the dealers. Another source is Stuttgart in Taman Mayang Jaya. Do note that Stuttgart is also a BMW stockist. http://www.stuttgart.com.my |

QUOTE(uk9089 @ Apr 23 2014, 02:33 PM) is bwm x5 suv 03-05 good? around 60k-80k look through mudah and it look nice. i love the car but im not sure about the maintenace. The car is very nice to drive but the maintenance cost is the ones that kill most people. From the road tax, to the servicing fees and depending on which engine you are going for, there might be some problems that you may have to fix. I would say budget around RM30k for fixing, road tax, tinting, etc.. as well when purchasing the X5 |

QUOTE(radiancephil @ May 16 2014, 10:38 PM) I wonder why nobody here is talking about the F30 316i... Is it that bad of a car? I am actually very interested with this car as I am mostly stuck in KL traffics anyway... It is an ok car but best to check with the owners at the BMWCM forums. Some have a trouble free experience and some face a lot of nagging issues with the car, the f30 in general. |

QUOTE(empire23 @ Jul 21 2014, 04:39 PM) My F22 arrives coming Monday. I'll post a review if I don't crash it on the first day, touch wood. Cost me 3.5 grand extra to have the LSD fitted but being a regular LSD driver I figure it makes a huge difference. Man that is very cheap to get a mechanical LSD! |

QUOTE(empire23 @ Jul 22 2014, 11:25 AM) That's expensive. The last LSD upgrade I had, a Quaife was only 1200. Was thinking of canceling it and getting the new M4. But the reality is that I ordered the 235i when on a 2/2 roster. Now I'm on a 3/1 roster which makes justifying an M4 so that I can drive it for 6 days in a month a lot harder. What currency is that in? RM1200 is extremely cheap for a Quaife LSD. The one I wanted for my car costs 880pounds which doesn't include in shipping costs yet. |

What is the purpose of the car first? If it is a car to get me from Point A to B in comfort and economical, I will choose the 520d |

QUOTE(taitianhin @ Sep 2 2014, 03:41 PM) does the full manual only come in M series? All the new models come in auto here in Malaysia. Some rare cases where recon dealers bring them in but it also depends on the models. For example the BMW 1M came in manual and the ones sold here by the recon dealers were in Manual. |

QUOTE(empire23 @ Sep 9 2014, 05:16 PM) Had a long drive out today, the car is good, but only thing that is shitty is the crappy BMW "Active Sound" which I have no idea on how to disable without a BMW diagnostic tool. Also praying the geniuses at Akrapovic come up with a titanium exhaust for this puppy. Couple that with a CF driveshaft and an increase to 400 HP ATW and it should drive even more awesome than it does now. 400ps on the wheel shouldn't be that tough to achieve. I have seen several 335i and 1M managing around 380ps on wheel average at our local dyno shop. |

QUOTE(taitianhin @ Sep 10 2014, 07:13 PM)  Engine is so nicely style when it is clean. Any idea how much it cost to do that? how about DIY? anything to use to clean to this state?  You can easily bring it to a detailing center to do it. If you are based in Klang Valley, search on Facebook for this guy (Albert) called Pro Detailers. See his Facebook feed on how he has cleaned up recently the engine bay of the RS5. |
