2K a year for Roadtax & Insurance together? Well i'm not going to be light footed all the time, the car is a beast, will speed at times also. Im currently driving a Satria, this will remain as my work car & the BMW will be my weekend/travelling car.

How much would it cost for a full tank and how far can I go on average? What do I need to change from time to time and how much would it cost? How is the wear n tear of the car like? From what I heard the air cond compressor costs a bomb. I would appreciate if you guys could include the price as well.

I know the Civic, Lancer, RX-8, BMW dont fit in the same category, but its in my list as price range is about the same. I love the BMW the most as its comfy, powerful, and looks awesome.

Very well maintained for a 2001 car. Plenty of goodies (Bilstein B8, M3 SMG steering wheel /w paddle shifts, sunroof etc). 228-231bhp at your disposal. You can never go wrong with a 6cyl bimmer.

Full tank capacity is 63L with 8L being reserve IINM. Full tank? Do your math.

Owner is a BMW enthusiast and has a F10 350d and just recently acquired a 335i hence letting go of the 330Ci.

Test driven the car before gotten my 325i. Could not got my loan approved and roadtax is bit on the high side thus have to let it pass.

FYI, max loan tenor is 4 years with only 80% MOF. Interest rate is at 5-7% pa depending on bank.

On another note, if you are concerned about maintenance costs and parts, definitely higher than the Japs.

Speaking from experience of owning both a Jap and a conti.
