Both car share the same engine so fuel consumption should be about the same. maintenance i would say the E39 is slightly expensive. Spare part are easily available for both models.

Bro, please look around the forum as this subject has been covered before one or another

Coming from the words of an E46 330i owner. Don't pray pray!

Agreed. E46 is comparatively cheaper to run.

 

[hammer1911]

Bro..take E46. It's a good car and less headchace compared to older version.

If u travel a lot and need a comfort journey, go for e39.

Hi, am driving e39 523. Great experience and for long distance, very confortable. Low wind noise and infact, nows day when driving, I don't turn on the radio.... very peacful ..... well you still hear some wind noise from behind but I guest is for safety reason.

Got staff driving e46 . Must say the pick up is great, better response and consumption of fuel is much lesser compared to e39. Probably even maintenance which I think greatly depend on how your drive style and how you normally maintain and care for your car.

But e39 is much more solid and e46.... a bit hollow. Sorry leh e46 friend.

Therefore, depending on your budget, your driving style, your lifestyle..... pick our choice....but at the end, it is still the UDM. Happy New Year.

If you are married & got kids, go for E39,
If you are single & got girlfriend (s), go for E46,
If you are always travel with parents, go for E39,
If you are junior Executive, go for E46,
If you are at managerial level or higher, go for E39.

*(no offence ya E46'ers, hehe)

Bro putera, buy the car from Bro initialM, his got very nice cars e46 & e39 up for sale.
Good luck.

 

[ejat shafiq]

If you want a legend, go for E30! hehe, e46 is better good looking IMO.

 

[arifferio]

putera....E46 laaa...

 

[initialM]

Depends on yr need & budget. U can compare 3 to 5 series. My suggestion test drive both cars & see which one you like. Then go for the highest cc you can afford.
No replacement for displacement. Since ur aredi got E36 why dun u just keep it & buy another E39. Again its your preference & money. :love:

 

[nickyow]

if budget permits, e46 is still darn good looking...=)
