My Question :
1-How was the maintanance of this E32 (730i M30 engine)
It is not that expensive la bro. Some time cheaper than perdana.

2-Is the part widely available? Price of part compare with V6's.
Yes as long you are in major town.

3- Fuel consumption?
Not that bad bro compare the comfort you get. Can also fix NGV bro.

4-How was the driving feel, will it feel bulky using in town?
Driving good you will enjoy it.

I am not useing E32 but my E28 runs with M30 3.5 engine. For full tank of RM120
which is almost 70 lites, my car will clock almost 450km town use and almost 600km for out station. But must drive not more than 120km/h

bro,

3.5L engine - and you can get 600Km/70 litres(o/station) - 450Km/70 litres(town driving) - wow thats damn good bro.

My 2002 E46 - N42 - gives me the same mileage for 60+ lites and its a 2 litre engine.

My Question :
1-How was the maintenance of this E32 (730i M30 engine)
- Take care the oil

2-Is the part widely available? Price of part compare with V6's.
- Part widely available , alot part share with E34 . You're buying top range of BMW model, don't compare with Perdana

3- Fuel consumption?
- Good on highway but bad in town

4-How was the driving feel, will it feel bulky using in town?
- Driving feel : Great ,
- feel bulky : only if you just got license

I own this E32 close to 6 years after I sold my R32 Skyline : big change...........:rock:

I owned 2x E32 -- 1st ,91 model for 5 yrs ,2nd 93 model for 2 yrs. Both iL . Both had self levelling suspension problem ( the pump ). The 730 I is without the self levelling feature , so one problem less. No complaint on the engine ! The drive is nice and smooth ---good for highway cruising. At 110km/hr ,can get 10km/litre . Need to be light on the tottle lah. Very good candidate for NGV conversion as the booth is big and the car price is very affordable. Go for it !
