suggest you put car info here than have people guessing. that'll help others to help with your question. not sure what you mean by single vanos and CI engine. the engine on e36 328 is single vanos whilst the "CI" (the e46 328ci i suppose) engine has double vanos. either way, its timing chain.

I'm assuming he got a brand new gearbox. If I'm not mistaken that's the price for brand new gearbox la....or something like 20k. Can't remember.
A complete rebuild these days should set you back something like RM3-4k. Cheaper also can find.

There's tons more if you google it. All boils down to whether you want to relocate stuff or not.

I drives a E36 318A.
Price for 318 vs 328 would not differ much. It's the maintenance, road tax which you need to consider.
I was also worried about >2000cc engine not eligible for fuel subsidy at that time.
My experience.
318 is good enough if you're cost concious and don't speed.
But how can you not speed with Bimmer, huh :>
318 can go 140km/h without any problem.
Can push to 160km/h, but RPM would be at 4500rpm and you can really hear the engine stressing.
328i model can easily hit 180km/h stress-free lah.
It's Vanos will kick-in around 4000rpm and you get additional booost.
However, bare-in-mind higher oil & engine parts costs associated with 6-cylinder engine.
Road tax for 328 would be around RM1600!
Conclusion, always go for higher engine capacity if you can afford it.
Regards.

Nando,
Congrats on your ride. Sharing my experience, i have no regrets getting my 325i. I enjoyed more driving my beemer compared to my CM5 and my CRV combined and i believe that you aware of its current state.
Truth be told, i'm not a fan of beemer in the beginning. Always have been a Merc guy until one fine day when my dear wife and i went car shopping and we tried out the E39 525i Double Vanos.(1st time driving but have been a passenger numerous times).
After "kena" double vanos, exit the car and told the mrs." i must get myself one Beemer with Vanos". From that point onwards i'm converted and now settled with E36 325i.
Just sharing arr..
