I went checked out a 2005 Lifestyle with 40k km on the odo. Still ada 1 more year of warranty from AB. What should be the right price?I begin my hunt with M-Sport in my mind and realise the are 6-potter 2.2 and 4-potter 2.0 M-Sport.Mostly 2002 models because newer models are too expensive for them to import.The 2002 6-potter M-sport are still asking for RM17Xk.. while the 4-potters are RM14X. Hey! 2002 means it will turn 6-year old in 2 months time ler!! Can't convince myself to part with my $$$ for such an old age car despite the "LOW" 2Xk km mileage.Just open the paper and u will notice owners advertise 2002 318i CKD at around RM11Xk. Why should I pay additional RM30k for Jap sepc M-Sport which basically has the same 4-potter engine? Alright! the 17" rims, body kit, suspension, suede seat, non-multi functional steering, non-electric seat. new number plates, low 2.x% interest, relatively new tyres, and only 2-month warranty.And u know what? These dealers are asking for RM1,500 for handling, transfer, inspection. bla..bla.. minus road tax and insurace...all in for a RM14Xk 2002 2.0 e46 M-Sport, the bill comes up to RM150k for a 6 year old car.. sigh....!!.. RIP OFF!!More question about this 2005 Lifestyle...1. What engine is it? was told same engine with E90.. So is that the non-valvetronic 173HP N45B20 or 143hp N42B20? Max speed should be around 220kph right?2. Was told the car tukar ECU 2 times with AB (under warranty) because power window no behaving as it should be. Why ECU? Worth worrying? I worry the car may spend more time in AB in the future than on the road.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite3" alt=":(" title="Frown    :(" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":(" /> eventhough under warranty. I hardly open window also la... except going to Jusco.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Toll wise I got Smart Tag mah.. ;D3. I think the car got ESP too... some thing like "Electronic Stability Program".. ;DOh yes, have not introduce myself.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> Despite joining this forum since 12/2006.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />I'm a mid age family man staying in Damansara Utama. Owned an e36 before and sold for a Perdana for more space to carry baby stuff when traveling. Now babies all grown up and the urge for compact performance UDM is back.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" />Hope I can get valuable info from this forum and thanks all in advance.. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
