u unker ar ??

only unker drive benz & bmw   

for u big dream is car ??

really ?? HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

whats your budget ??

w203 or e90 is very old car, u need alot of maintenance to do

go buy myvi cash

 

honda jazz also good

 

if u've at least RM40k standby cash for maintenance and a spare car, then i'd say, go ahead and get one.

normal service is affordable, but sometime u need to spare 4k or 10k if any happened to your old car.

For example, my ex W204, key ignition faulty, the problem is u cant change the parts only, u have change the whole system and reset the key with your car.......cost you about 6k.

central locking got problem, u cant go roadside accessories to fix it..... u have to go to specialist to fix it for you, rm600 one door, if 2 doors rm1200.

not to mention if the gear box got problem.......

Lol The place I work got 1 lady about late 20s or mid 30s driving bmw white. lol. 3series i think. lol. nice wor.. xD i also tempted to buy. xD

Bullshyt

Aku dah pakai Benz since 2"

Yes definitely

Never buy new , biggest regret

Get a low mileage Pre reg / used local car

Does E90 320D in Malaysia suffer from timing chain issues like those in UK?

take 320i , its cheap, e 90 is very modern.

maintenance is subjective. expensive vs japanese, yes. expensive vs proton, maybe not, cause proton keep changing cheap parts.

i just bought a w203, though. but i look at the pricing, bmw is cheaper. plus bmw performance is better. i went for the comfort instead. but i am 12 years ahead of you, so merc is fine.

if you really really want to own one. you need to do one thing first. read and learn about the car. love the car and know where to source to service, and if problem occur. what should you do, and how much does it cost. then your brain, wont suddenly say. wah, like that meh?

most ppl buy car for the sake of showing off to their family and friends i also got one. because my family dont approve i can buy?

For the e90, check on maintenance esp with regard to the transmission and fluid changes. If you have no service history, walk away.

Common problems include the fuel pump failing past 100k, sensor failures and transmission failures due to lack of maintenance. This gets expensive.

Rarer problems include vanos problems. The aircon is known to have intermittent electronic issues

Usual maintenance at 100+k include seal changes. The car needs preventative maintenance and if you aren't familiar with cars, don't touch a used BMW.

At this age, you'll be looking at bushings and mountings changes. Spark plugs may be due for a change as well.

On average, for an older e90, expect to pay about rm10k on maintenance per year excluding fuel, insurance, tax, tyres. Total incl tyres is closer to 15-20k.

If you can't come up with this kind of money without blinking an eye, don't bother.

However, if you do your own wrenching and know how to source parts- ie home mechanic, then go ahead. This bill comes fown to about 4K. But keep a second car for the months, yes, months, that your car is out of service. 

I suggest you keep a used myvi or Axia around.

I deal with older cars and keep two extra cars because at anyone time, something is in the workshop for routine or preventative maintenance.

how about 190e merc? very sporty

Prepared spare rm15-20k per year exclude norm maintenance and tyre should be enough.

Its depend on luck too.

Childish comment! How  did you know TS  don't earn more than 10 k ? Maybe 10k is his monthly earning!  You got cash buy civic but too bad that cash not enough to buy a BMW ! So work harder !
