4my friends said that BMW cars is a high maintenance car and will have a lot of prob.

I'm sure none of those friends have ever driven/owned a BMW.

Quality & finish of a German car cannot be compared to a Japanese car. No offense to Japanese car owners (all my previous rides were from Japan). Looks, feel, power, cant be compared to an equivalent Japanese rival.

If a product is of a good quality, it will cost more than a product of average quality.

For me, the E36 is cheap to maintain if DIY and know where to get new or used parts. Don't be surprised, some parts are in fact more cheaper than japanese car parts. Must have passion to own one.......other than that i just love how it steers when going thru turns heheheheh

Thanks.

It's not going to be like owning a Proton, that's for sure! LOL

When you buy something as complex and well engineered as a BMW, you're bound to end up paying a premium for parts and servicing. Quality never comes cheap!

Good luck with your hunt for an E36!

pick the wrong e36 would land you in the non stop spending world ....and if you're gonna pick a good one make sure you don't try to nego further ....cuz good ones don't come easy and cheap ...

so make sure you've set your budget and keep it at a little higher side rather than squeezing it ...

another advise : get a 6 potter ...

6 cylinders - i.e. the 320i, 325i, 328i or M3 (4 cylinder cars like the 318i doesn't have enough grunt to be an all-rounder). a decent example would be this 328i..
