Thats still OK, eventho its a stupid buy, as compared to one of my “mlm”, act successfull friend, who bought a 740le.

The 7 series looks like a million bucks, but most shops have a hard time offloading it, to the point where most don’t even take them in unless the seller willing to take a extreme loss.

It costs below 200k, practically a buying price of a brand new cx-5 (180k~)

https://www.carlist.my/used-cars/13337148

Now, the problem comes when small small minor niggles and shit, every single part, every small things will be upcharged so much, that a person who can only afford a 200k car won’t be able to afford.

Engine oil basic service still cheap la, since can kedai bawah pokok and its nothing too special, just drain oil and filter, less than 1k kautim, easy.

But… anything else, and hes FUCKED. Brake fluid flush? Transmission oil change? Coolant flush? Anything that needs to touch/linked to the front subframe? Any internal programming that needs to plug into obd, he is fucked.

So now, i got a friend who owns a million dollar shiny as fuck ceramic coated 7series that he bought below 200k, and he “enjoyed” the first 20k km first year, but now (2nd+yr) can’t be driven as he doesn’t have the fund to fix. Literally threw away 200k and more(pre purchase maintenance), just for the sake of pictures for his soc med.

He can’t even sell it off, no dealers is so stupid to take in a cold door car.

Damm, 6K for water hose piping seems like kene conned lol.
Ayam car 19 inch wheel. Jilake one wheel 1200++ front and 1300++ rear.

Many people buy conti but no money to maintain. E.g aready can see car leaking but buat tak tahu until breakdown or problem become worst. Then viral here and there salahkan car lol.

After that people who never even use the brand jumped in and talk kok like they are the expert. Kek.

Aiyo bro. Mine n55 all change ori also. Plus workmanship, new coolant, bleeding etc.

But the engine oil hose with metal fitting at the end very expensive. 1800/hose and need two pieces. Should last for next 5 years so OK la.

It seems like you're asking about BMW's use of environmentally friendly materials and potential early failures or issues related to them. Here’s a breakdown of the topic:

BMW’s Sustainable Materials Initiative
BMW has been actively working to incorporate eco-friendly materials in its vehicles to reduce environmental impact. Some key materials include:

Recycled plastics (e.g., from ocean waste, recycled bottles)

Natural fibers (flax, hemp, kenaf) in interior trim

Vegan interiors (synthetic leather, recycled microfiber)

Responsibly sourced wood & aluminum

Potential Early Failures or Issues
While BMW’s sustainable materials are innovative, some concerns have been raised:

Durability Concerns

Some natural fibers or recycled plastics may degrade faster than traditional materials under extreme conditions (heat, moisture, UV exposure).

Early reports suggest that certain vegan leather surfaces may show wear (cracking, fading) sooner than genuine leather.

Performance Trade-offs

Lightweight eco-materials may not always match the strength or longevity of conventional ones, leading to potential premature wear in high-stress areas.

Consumer Feedback

Some BMW owners have noted that recycled fabric seats or bio-based dashboards may not feel as premium as traditional luxury materials.

BMW’s Response
BMW claims rigorous testing ensures durability, but real-world use may reveal weaknesses. The company continues to refine these materials for better performance.

Conclusion
While BMW’s eco-friendly materials are a step toward sustainability, some may fail earlier than traditional options, especially in harsh conditions. If you're considering a BMW with these materials, check long-term reviews or warranties covering material defects

Never ever buy BMW hybrid. Totally no value and then it breaks down every month.

No use having 250hp but every month sidai at workshop.

The stupid battery alone costs more than a myvi.

Had a chance to drive this, damn sweet ride, but I was told by owner cost an arm and a leg to maintain. How much, I wouldn't know but the acceleration, its like a freaking fighter jet, whether running on Hybrid (eDrive MAX) or ICE.

The downside, the petrol tank and the battery capacity is very small. If you go full on SAVE mode for eDrive, and you are heavy on acceleration i think 3 days already half tank gone?

Full tank is about RM 80, for EV charge (ac 22kw charger) is about RM 5+ to full. Full battery charge can only last for about 30km.

If go on eDrive Save and Economy mode, you can quickly recharge the battery with regenerative breaking especially going down hill.

Conclusion: fund to drive but too much hassle to monitor petrol and battery usage. If the battery finished, your petrol can go down really fast like within 2-3 days you have to go and pump petrol again.

It's a 6+ seconds 0-100 acceleration car.. PAW TAN article mentioned the malaysian market one is rated at low 6s *ahem /2017/01/08/driven-bmw-330e-review/, but i tried the 330e and felt much closer to high6 to 7sec acceleration car.

I remember when this car was introduced, one of the most budget friendly yet looks "expensive" - 250k~, searching that article above confirms what i recalled.

For a similar priced 250k+ car, a Golf R is a more correct representation of taking off like a fighter jet, at below 4 seconds, which is crazy because a Mercedes-AMG GT Black Series in Malaysia is also doing 3~ sec 0-100, but comes at the price tag of 3mil.

The reason why the group is called rusted jacket is due to rust build up under the front seats. Apparently they didnt apply antirust on the seat base in the early models from 2012-2013

Mine is 2015, no such issue

Sticky door pull is unacceptable though, but its just a <100 bucks fix for all 4 doors

I'm still running a 2009 E60, ok jer. It had a slow coolant leak, which I found out is actually from a leaky overflow hose. Cheap fix

I did had a 5 figure repair bill on the E60's gearbox, but that's due to bmw's stupid advise of "lifetime transmission fluid". Expensive lesson

Also had a 2015 F30, which also leaked coolant. The overflow tank bleeding screw sudah reput.

Having said that, both ada oil leaks and can be fixed by changing valve cover + gasket

Recently added a G20 to my collection, so far still too new to tell. But from both older cars, you can tell its due to bmw's way of running the engine at 110c

Will probably reprogram the G20 to run at 90-100c once the warranty runs out

Yup. After my ZF6 died, for my ZF8 I just changed the fluid outside at 40k km even if its under warranty. The SC wouldnt know anyway

Touchwood the ZF8 is still silky smooth

G30 any year also uses the updated B48 engine, but still has coolant leak problems.

3 areas to look out for which is the coolant flange, oil filter housing, and cylinder head return hose.

These are all made of plastics and can crack over time. There's aluminium equivalents for these from china but most workshops dont recommend using them

Maybe a better solution is to use original plastic parts + reprogram the engine to run at lower temp ~90c+

2016 320i facelift, petrol model... using b48 engine. Maintenance wear/tear avg per year i standy by 5k just in case.

Services
Oil change/filter= rm500
Gearbox oil with filter =rm900 (This expensive but only need to change every 30-40k km)
Diff oil= rm300
Air filter/aircond filter= less than 200 because shopee cheap2..


Other than that so far ok. but i less use the car only weekend. But this model need to check ALL the cooling hose from engine to the radiator. If harden or u see the hoses turn brownish then better change all hoses to prevent coolant leak.


Diesel no comment. Anyway diesel model very less now in the market. If got also very high mileage.

"New" vs "brand new"

Both describe something recently made or unused, but "brand new" emphasizes that the item has never been used or owned before.

"New" could refer to something recently acquired, even if it's not technically brand new.

Combination of plastic parts and high temperature engine at 110c....some mechanic say not recommended to tukar the parts to aluminum cause it retains heat and make things more worst.

So yes in short prepare 10-20k a year for the repair/maintenance fees.

But actually leak coolant or oil is easy to detect and if change/repair early then no problem one. Usually it's the few most common parts like valve cover gasket, thermostats, coolant pipes etc. Most problematic is some hidden valve/pipe/bush/parts that cracks and you can't see it easily...

When considering a used F30, go only for the LCI petrol variant (320i or 330i) with the B48 engine.

Avoid the hybrid 330e.

These are all made of plastics and can crack over time. There's aluminium equivalents for these from china but most workshops dont recommend using them

Maybe a better solution is to use original plastic parts + reprogram the engine to run at lower temp ~90c+

*
really funny I tell you, when they say they wanna save the environment yada yada end up we spend more on some parts that supposed to last longer

just to name a few:
water pump with plastic impeller
plastic thermostat housing
radiator with plastic end tank
plastic clutch driven cooling fan


summore our weather is hotter than europe... sigh

Services
Oil change/filter= rm500
Gearbox oil with filter =rm900 (This expensive but only need to change every 30-40k km)
Diff oil= rm300
Air filter/aircond filter= less than 200 because shopee cheap2..
Other than that so far ok. but i less use the car only weekend. But this model need to check ALL the cooling hose from engine to the radiator. If harden or u see the hoses turn brownish then better change all hoses to prevent coolant leak.
Diesel no comment. Anyway diesel model very less now in the market. If got also very high mileage.

The quality of Honda, BMW & Merc in my experience basically equal... Surprise surprise surprise.. (but clearly no surprise bcoz my father fan of conti since I was kid)...
I think I know all penyakit with that cars...
Obviously still below Toyota quality & reliability..

The only different why I suggest Honda Ketam (if budget limited to 60-70k for used car) is bcoz abundant spare part & OEMs..
For conti; alwayz prepare for double price (even if u buy used car)...
Dont waste yr time buy conti hybrid car...

Ooo looks like M50. Your car ka? What model?

Yeah from N52 onwards can see alot of cost-cutting exercise. N52 silver top vs black top already alot of parts become disposable.

Silver top has magnesium valve cover with modular PCV. Black top has plastic valve cover with built-in PCV. If PCV membrane torn, can throw the whole valve cover and replace new

N20 even worse. Even the oil pan become plastic. Top plastic, bottom also plastic.

E platform demand even higher and yes their parts double than F series parts. Apply demand and supply theory here.
