hi matasura, my advice is to get myvi ^_^
im also a fresh graduate. after college, my dad bought me a used satria 1.6, coz im a big fan of old satria model.
to be honest, im a bit dissapointed, i should never go for a used car, bcoz lots of things need to be done for my car... i just change my gearbox from auto to manual tranny, cost me rm1900. b4 this, i swap my auto gearbox 3 times...!!! currently saving money to change my tyre, suspention also need to be change, new paint job, tinted. i already spend like 3-4K on repairing only, thank god my dad paid 4 some of it (i really should go for halfcut b4)... summore, i dont earn much every month... about 60% of my income all go straight to my car, my girlfriend even jelous at my car aheheehh. if i earn like 3K per month, then different story la
im not saying used car is bad... just that, lots of things need to be done... if u're lucky, u'll get a good used car.

hi my advise is if u want buy a bimmer prepare to pay for it. mine is a 318 1997 model . i drive about 5000-6000 km monthly. petrol about 1000-1500 monthly. in 5 months i already spend 8000.00. CAR INSTALLMENT 750.00. i travel around malaysia alot. still got things to do ,. so on average i spend around 3000.00 monthly ++ for car alone. but my maintanance is high because extreamly heavy usage- jungle roads, felda roads,all roads lah .so is it worth all the money spend?
definitely yes. i enjoy driving it , once i reach highway i'll 4 sure do 180 kmh, and winding roads is my favourite i'm addicted on taking corners in high speed . get one u will enjoy it
my advise to you is get one

...mine is still available as the first & only owner...
...fuel consumption, about 440 KM, on full tank city driving, but between 560 - 610 KM , full tank long distance (KL - JB or KL - Ipoh), speed dependent on traffic congestion, of course...
...driving at speeds of 160 - 180 KM per hour without issues for this 4 cylinder UDM, stock model...
...but it's just a few kilometres above the 150,000 kilometre mark, AB serviced as always & there's nothing to be done...just plug 'n play, really !...

This e21 is a real BMW (b'yak m'kan wang, b'yak m'suk w'shop...whatever la), i had spanned a lot on it after i work... i also think about to change a proton / produa car also but already 1.5 yr after working d stil driving the sharky UDM... why?? you gonna know it after you own 1... after you drive this monster, you are not able to give up on it even though you had been suffered by the maintenance cost and the petrol consumptions. but you will know what is so call enjoy driving.. and i love my e21 even though it already very old and needs many many repairs.
For advice, if you ready then just get what you 1... if still choosing then just pick a Myvi..good in terms low maintenance and petrol saver..

to update,
rite now I'm working in a factory here in bayan lepas...
income, just like most of the fresh grad...
if i wanna get a e36 318i, probably need to spend rm700 permonth for loan, petrol might be around rm300, and the total will be rm1k permonth. luckily right now still living with my family, no need rumah sewa yet.
still need to consider..

Hi Matasura
Have a friend like you at my work place. Fresh grad with the ultimate passion and he is in this forum too. He saved a lot when he caught up with us like 2 weeks after buying his E36. No doubt he had to spend on his car coz it is a 10 years E36 but at least his head is not being chopped and he is paying value for money. Myvi is a good car from several perspectives but defintely not the same league as E36. I don't think it is an apple to apple comparison. If you choose Myvi, "its a passion", don't be bothered about prices and technicalities. E36 ... it's a "UDM".
Driving BMW. There are a lot kedai who really want to chop BMW drivers head. A few years ago, my bro kena kapak with exorbitant prices for parts coz he was new to the nothern region. Now that he knows where to go, he is pretty taken care off.
So, moral of the story is, understand what you are getting into, commit to your decision and be a smart and well informed buyer or user. We are 30 minutes from Penang and factory workers too. Need, any help, you can give us a buzz.

Bro,
To buy E36 or not is depends on many factors. No doubt BMW is a great car but since ur just graduated just buy cheaper maintainence car first eg kancil. Save money for 2 years from now. On year 2009 u can get yr 1999 E36 which is still under 10 yrs old (easier loan). I got mine when I was 32 yrs old & now after 2 yrs owning it I spent bout 35k for mods & maintainence:burnout: . But I never regret it as its my passion and every second driving its a priceless experience. My advice dun waste time & money playing wt proton & japs if u really interested in BMW. BMW is not cheap even for older model. If u buy BMW put big downpayment so that smaller installment. Hence u have xtra cash to maintain it. Spare bout 10k as emergency purpose. Finding good used E36 would be a nightmare experience. If ur lucky u just mite found good one.:rock:
