Buy e46 or e39?

[azwanb]

azwanb,
ask him to buy both!! jangan buat sakit kepala!!

after 2-3 months, kalau tak suka yg mana satu, kau tlg dia jual kat forummers kita ni!!!

Ambo dah cakap dah. Dia kedekut. Someone told me here that hes just frugal. No, not frugal, kedekut. I know him well. So buying M5 at 350k is never an option.

Yeop... buy both and sell one later? See comment above! If you had the choice, which one would u buy lah? and when? [like blind date question ajer]. As for me, I have already made my choice!

 

[yeop]

bro...too young for 3 series!! E39 of course my choice

unless can find another 'siti'...then can consider latest E92!!

If he's really kedekut, he should not even consider buying a Beemer in the first place. Knowing a few kedekut people, a person can become very nasty if the car is not up to his standard or start giving problem. But then again it's a used car and he is going to get it cheap comparatively. In the end you are the one who will be in deep shit for recommending a Beemer to him. The way I look at it, this is not going to be a win-win situation for you guys. Let him take his own sweet time looking for the car he really likes. We can help him up to certain extent. After all, it's his money.

*ROTFLMAO!

I think you will need 110% loan after the wedding to buy that...

Ok. He loves both the models. He likes the 5 series coz of its size and stability. He thinks the e46 can modify easier - at least look damn cun. So he is really in two minds and really dunno which one to get [still]. Can you articulate why you are of that opinion?

I personally drive an e39 528i and I love it. When he gets into my car he goes - wah damn nice, so quiet, smooth blah blah blah. But THEN when he sees a nice e46 on the road [in my car], he falls in love with them - almost like if you have a gorgeous gf and then while dating her you see another nice one, you go wah... Aiyoh. Dunno how to describe.

The E39 is more refined, more comfortable, better built and more spacious than the E46. The E39's ride comfort is far better than the E46 and yet in terms of handling the E39 won't lose to the E46. And in terms of image - if this is important to you - the E39 is more prestigeous than the E46.

Mods are just as widely available for the E39 as they are for the E46.

Now thats what i'm talking about. But nobody disagrees meh? Or is this an accepted view accross the BMW populous?

How to disagree? It's the best car in the world. No sepiak.

 

[Daniel]

if he really is so kedekut as you say he is, then why bother to get a used BMW?
Doesn't make any sense.

Show him the way to the local Toyota dealer.

sorry bro but does this matter to your kedekut buddy?.

Daniel, you are absolutely right. Better sttill, in order to maintain his kedekut status he might as well maintain his present ride. Why must he take up additional loan, and thus extra debt?

Having owned both the E46 and the E39, the E39 would be the obvious choice. I f your buddy loves modifying, go for a full spec 528i, drive it for a while before dropping in a HiOP 3.2 kit. I know just the place for that. I'm suggesting the 528i as it's cheap and has lots of torque (wait until he tries the 3.2 HiOP) plus all the extra toys over the 523i which makes it a value buy.

One last piece of advice, the E39 is the best choice between the two Bimmers as it's a car that you and your family can grow into. It can also outcorner any E46 car for car. Comfort, prestige and handling all in one. Otherwise give one of those 1.8l supercharged machines from Stuggart a try to open up your mind.

Ah... there comes the complexity of life when logic itself and common sense is not necessarily that common. Its a logic based on emotion. He wants a beemer but he wants to get the right one for him. I told him to go to Honda or Toyota but he refused..

I will tell him to go get the 5er and forget the e46. I will just tell him that if he wants to get the best car in the world at a price he can afford, go buy a nice e39. There seems to be some nice ones on Motortrader these days... (since he kedekut, i will loan him my copy!)

 

[azwanb]

Fuh! USD 7.5k +++ ? Walaueh!

I brought this matter up earlier. I believe being frugal is more appropriate but azwanb still thinks that his friend and Hj. Bakhil are the same. Both are kedekut.

E39 !! E39 !! E39 !!

 

[ersalle]

Having own both before, take the e39 and forget about E46
