My personal view. Yes u felt great from because u changing from vios to f30 316. Don't talk about maintenance, wear and tear will damage u quite alot if u worried about the cost. I'm drivin a e60 every services is about 600 plus for just engine oil n oil filter and thats the outside of BMW service center. if u can afford that kind of money and prepare money for wear and tear parts. Steering rack cost about 13k exhaust sensor i think got 4 or 5 sensor cost nearly 6k. U are worry free if that is no problem for u. If not better go for a new car instead. Save more for downpayment for a new bimmer.

My own rule of thumb. I only buy a car with the price less than my annual gross income.

Oil and oil filter changes should be cheap (5 litres of oil is about 150 ringgit, filter is 50). BMW Compliant oils are easy to find, so no need to go for the most mahal.

Exhaust sensors are all NTK/Bosch Lamba sensors, 4 of them should cost you about 1.5k ringgit. Dunno how you can pay until 6k.

6 liters for the n52b25 on 300v.. i forgotten the sensor how much but is not 1.5k the longest sensor is about 1.2k if im not mistaken. this was change about 3 years ago when there is an error on 1 of the sensor.. but i just change it all.

300V is generally one of the most expensive oils out there made for racing with low detergent content, meaning it needs more regular changes but holds up under HTHS better. For normal use it would be slightly overkill. I'd use it on a track driven M-car, not on a DD.

Sensors for BMWs are generally quite cheap if you don't buy original as OEM ones will work fine, and if you're outside the warranty period, don't bother with ori.

yeah 300 is 1 of the most expensive... sometimes i change to LM. Car was remap, ignition coil change, eisenmen muffler and only drink 97.

sensors are the oem Bosch ones not original BMW. Even the BMW original are made from Bosch. I know the workshop charge more expensive den the normal 1. But he done a great job. Now on Mobil 1 which is alot cheaper.

Wah you take care of your car veli well.

I usually just fill up RON95 in my M4 because I'm a cheap fuk.

lol is all depends on the owner. I felt great with 97 especially the Red V. Yours M4 on twin turbos. Even on RON95 i only can smell exhaust fumes laaaa

For NA engines, petrol and Engine oil is very important. If u treat the bimmer well... not much major problem beside the normal wear n tear. For TS if u worry about maintenance cost. Better off with a new car.

dun go for 316. get the 320.

Facelift already coming, so wait for the old 320

You're not maintaining a 150k car. Is a continental 210k devalued to 150k and if you are not a car sensitive person and do preventative , its going to make a big hole into your pocket. If you're looking for driving experience , the 316i will dissapoint you . if for badge.. No comment . .

this is suicidal lol

just hope that poor chap dun get into trouble for his audi

No u cant afford that.

Enjoy now suffer later.

True Story

If TS's income is 9K nett on his own I would say go for it. But combining his wife's income is a definite no-no. It boils down to using his wife's income to directly or indirectly support his luxury car.

seriously don't do it if you do not have the spare luxury for it.

my mother in law gave me one advice.

If you are aiming for i.e. a new Merc a200 (new price RM 237K), make sure you have 2x the amount inside your bank account. Then only think about walking into a showroom and buy one.

When I heard that piece of advice, I gagged . But its a sound advice to avoid being in debt.

But this is coming from my parent in law which runs their own business for decades and has the ability to purchase properties for each of their son and a property for my wife.

Unfortunately most of us average Joe Malaysians, at least have 1 bank loan in our life.

If im not mistaken, if the car is more than 5 years old, if someone bang your car or you bang others car. u need to fork out certain amount of money.. Insurance company wont pay full for u. so you have to drive extra careful.

for 2nd hand car, you need to consider the car tires cost and the major service cost, get ready RM5k per year to replace some parts.

why not you go for New 3 series??RM208,800.00 with 5 years warranty? i suggest you keep another 10k~20k and go for it....

Buying a second hand BMW can be a nightmare...New car always is the best, most important is whether you can truly afford or not.

BSRI is almost ending & warranty is over. Why not get a pre-reg 2015 316i, cos that comes with the 5 years warranty & BSRI? It will cost more than the RM150k 316i you were looking it, but I believe less than RM200k.

For RM150K should be able to get a 3 year old BMW 320i which gives a much better drive.
