E36 Vs E46.

[anxious]

For me the difference b/w getting an 328 E36 vs E46 would be buying cash (E36) or with hire purchase (E46) and honestly buying an E46 for RM100k and paying RM1000 a month for instalments and then being exposed to maintainace costs of a 6 year old car is worrisome. I probably get a 10 year old E36 for cash and save my money for maintainance.

That's what I did with my E30. I bought it cash for RM26k and I spend about RM4k pa on maintainance. It's still cheaper than installments and my exposure for depreciation is more limited.

The challenge of course is finding a good E36 328.

Thats what I said a year ago.

Hey anxious...

with rm150k budget... and the aim of agressive driving...my suggestion is to get an E46 328 ... around rm90k now, you can spend the balance 60k on other stuffs like CF, rims, bodykits and even engine upgrades...I wish I did thought about this before I bought my 318 2.0 E46.

The extra 2 cylinders will make a huge difference...add some bodykits, even M3 kits... anybody cucuk you thinking you are M3... you won't be shy to respond...coz 328...simply superb...

aduh...my heart breaks....

328 is a good car but when the roadtax and the insurance about to end...It's really hurt and might eat up your contractual bonus with ease

Its only once in a year. Since E36 is quite cheap now. U can spare RM for maintenance & rtax/insurance. I can guarantee u will smile all the way when driving it & wonder why other cars so slow. But careful, make sure u can handle it as I've seen many 328 skided as its quite torky:rock:
