how much would re-spraying an e36 generally cost?
*
i think should cost around 2k, at one of the paint shops i usually go.

depends on the size of the vehicle. and also the color type he wants.

Lastime my mom wanted to paint her landcruiser took to shop ask them for Metallic black it came up to rm5.5k sweat.gif

thanks. i might be able to scourge for RM3k for a paintjob but RM5k would be overkill. damn, i just like the car, not the red color.

Johan-N, xDjWanNabex - it should be AC type VI, or so i was told. don't know if it's original or imitation

need to change the front lamp. going for angel eyes  nod.gif

any recommendation/reference?
*
actually, they look like ac schnitzer type v not vi smile.gif

and for the angel eyes, do give shedden at exoticmods a call. he has the cheapest and brightest that i know (rm250 + 1 year warranty) his number is 1 or 2 pages back i think or just visit www.exoticmods.com

Hi all,

I am planning to get a used E46. Preferably the facelift version. But it seems that the older one is sportier.

Peopl have been telling me that the E46 is unreliable. Can you guys point out the problems? What should I look for when I am finding an E46?
*
common problems:
- window prone to 'jatuh', will need to replace window motor
- ignition coil
- bushings
- expansion tank tend to crack
- wheel bearing
- the urge to MOD the car

what you need to look out for
- sub frame (especially those with aftermarket suspension)
- gearbox (!)

i have heard that the pre-face tend to have less problems as opposed to the facelift. either way, maintenance might be on the high side, Banyak Masuk Workshop, and Banyak Makan Wang, but the driving pleasure makes it all worth it.

hmm sorry about the vague clarification then!

But wont it be possible when extensive mods on both, the 335 is better? The twin turbo's play a big roll in that!

Anyways, would a 135 play off a 335? I mean the same engine in both, and the 135 is ligher..

based on the PFL.. 335i is an I6 3.0 twin turbo. the M3 is a 4.0 V8. i dont remember the numbers, but the M is about 400+bhp vs the 35's 300+. FL 335i is only single turbo.

regarding 135i and 335i, performance is nearly the same i suppose.. weight is nearly the same, 135i is marginally lighter (less than 100kgs if im not wrong) both do the century leap in the 5s.
