E46 which model

[Hellraiser]

talking about the pening and tak bole tido part...this is what i mean when you're determined to get that something 'special'. no earthquake or tsunami can stop this feeling, bro! hope you get your car fast before 'tak boleh makan' becomes an issue!! hehe! join our tt sessions. maybe that will help you narrow down your choice with advise from all the sifu's. thinking again, the kaki racun's will be there too...hehe!!

Thanks guys for ur opinion,

Well, you guys have ur point in every sense.
At the end of the day a balance between the needs and the capability (pocket) does matter. Cannot have it all in one.

Thanks Lair for the invitation for TT session (surely get racun "roundup" too if I were to be there). Even my friends who are the UDM enthusiast but they themselves are not driving one pun.. racun cukup kuat.. ha ha ha..

Actually, I had all the factors being considered, just need the sifus opinion to stressed on certain points that I have in mind.

Just wondering, how many of you guys are running their own business? The UDM does giving an impact to your potential customer right? IMHO even a 318 will have a better impact than the new Honda Civic rite?

bro, i'm driving an e36 318i and the impact is totally different with customers and friends alike. its like, you are what you drive and customers take you more seriously and the right guy to handle the job. comparing a beemer with a honda, its about being original. the new honda accord is bulky like a 5 series, front looks like a 3 series, rear looks like inspired from a 7 series. i really dunno what to make of it!

yes mate, the "impact" even on my 11 year old E36 is still "there" although it has dropped very much in value... Imagine an 11 year old Honda?? i can't...

cheers...

Seconded that . Part of my job scope is to entertain clients . Was
driving a satria GTI . No bull , it's a powerful & fun car but people
tend to have "different" impressions on the car ...so I looked around &
decided on an E36 . That was 4 years ago & now I am true believer ! ke ke ke ..:top:

bros, i've seen what a bmw can do to improve my lifestyle and job opportunities. as a matter of fact, after 3 years, i'm upgrading to an e46!

If 20k different in money is no issue to you, I will opt for 2.5.
Is easier to squeeze more hp if you deside to modify the engine down the road.

If you just need a car, get 2.0. (which I don't think you are)

160hp in Putra? At 73hp/1000 pound, you need about 240hp in E46.

Yeah kind of agree with you on the impact to business associates & friends.
Sometimes have to deal with senior mgmt of the client. Kena pinjam kereta my other Director mah kalau mau pegi meeting.. ha ha..

IMHO a Subaru Imprezza, Mitsu Evo or even a GTR R34 will not give them a sense of confidence we are the right guy to deliver. UDM will give the sense eventhough they see u as too young for such job. Or did I have it wrong (maybe the trend have changed?)
