Assumption here is that your 2nd hand car is in good condition and there is no major issue such as engine or gearbox problem.A 318i would definitely means lower maintenance and better fuel economy for town drive. However, do get the 2.0 valvetronic which is better than the 1.9. Be wary of recond as you said, physical appearance will hide internal problems. Get us the VIN so that we can double check its originality.However, a 325 is definitely higher fuel consumption but a sportier drive than a 318i. Expect maintenance to be 40% more (anybody else)..This is my rough estimate though. SMG..again, this is personal preference. Its a manual, so, think carefully man...But, for me, a good compromise is to get a 325i instead of the SMG...why not you try AutoBav used since Ipoh has a BMW authorized dealer there..Bodykit, you can go for fiber dude...cost way less or you can wait when a 2nd hand comes along....to me, i think bodykit comes 2nd. The most important is the internal engine condition and the interior of the car when bought.Good LUCK!</blockquote>
