YOLO bro, VW is really not a good choice.
Suggest to get japanese car for wife if she not go for speed. Low maintenances & comfort.

If you really into BMW is better to get a new car. 5 years warranty is what its worth. =)

Is VW maintenance cost high?

Is VW maintenance cost high?

Yes bro, high maintenance and low second hand value.
Agreed with gingy, 1 conti n 1 reliable low maintainance car will be a better option.

No la bro, if buy scirocco for my wife then I won't change bmw la, stick with my vios. Then sometimes I can drive that rocco during weekend la.. I have a friend selling me his rocco 2.0 , 2012 , price at 105k. He said 6 speed less problem than 7 speed DSG. Test drive his car, this car is damn powerful.. DSG is really a power engine. Addicted.

Driving a BMW isn't as expensive as most people think. Of course it can be more expensive if you compare with a Japanese car but not by much.

I think the most important think being a BMW owner is that you kinda have to be enthusiastic with car/automotive or with the brand, able to do research, know where to buy parts yourself and having some troubleshooting and diagnosis skill so you can tell what went wrong or at the very least able to determine the relevant components with your BMW.

If you are able to do your own research, then you will understand why most BMW enthusiasts never complaint much about their car being problematic (with a few exceptions like the SSG gearbox etc) because they know how to maintain and solve their problem without getting their throat cuts by the workshops out there. If you are the type that just want the brand but never intend to research, study and learn about your car, I suggest you to stay away from the car especially without warranty.

I am not very experienced with BMW but I just recently sold my Civic FD2 2008 and purchased a used 13 years old E46 330i, for the purpose of educating myself with a old and used continental vehicle. Also because the E46 is one of my dream car since young. And I can tell you the E46 is amazing even though it's decade old 

To TS, if you like the F30 and must have it, then you must be prepared for the problematic encounter with the vehicle, but thus far F30 is a pretty solid car, there isn't much major problem with it. Go read on forums and you will understand more than opening a thread here. The 316i is by no means a bad car, it is good for what it is and for its value, test driven the car and I felt the car is more than adequate for normal driving and the 8AT gearbox is just amazing. I just didn't like the bench seats and the thin steering wheel. Otherwise, the car is good. You still get leather seats, xenon lights etc.

Personal advise though, I wouldn't touch a modern continental car without warranty.

Hi fellow bros, can I seek for some advise from you guys? I am a normal office worker, currently income 5k nett. My wife which is also an accountant income around 4k. Combine income 9k. Own a condo monthly installment 1500. Petrol cover by company RM600 every month.

Planning to buy a 2nd hand BMW F30 316i, price RM150k , downpayment 20k , loan 130k, tenure 9 years, installment every month 1400. No more warranty, with 30k left BSRI.

Please advise whether I should go for this 316i? Currently driving a vios. 5 years old car. Really fancy this car but worry about the maintenance cost. What do you guys think of it with me and my wife combine income? ( not plan to have child yet )

Thanks fellow bros. please advise.

2019 jor, TS end up with? hahaha

TS last active 2017 feb la.. probably enjoying his BMW now

Hi all sifus, sorry to revive a 3-year old thread. Want to seek same advise from TS. I'm mid-20s Malaysian, earning gross ~4.5k per month. Currently driving 7 year old Proton.

I enjoy driving, and frequent travel long distance. Looking at used 2016 320i around 100 - 120k. Current savings of almost 90k, cleared of my debts, no commitments apart for room rental, single. Is it wise to go for it?

Please advise, TQ guys. 😆
