Shhhhhh.... I am a very careful driver :) hehehe. And truthfully, the NS highway is not a racetrack, and I personally don't believe that breaking the law is acceptable just because I am in another country.:)
 
I agreed
This one looks like a proper Original no flaff around M sport
Nice touch with the similar era BBS

I think car of such age should be maintain as stock like

Not digging to those JDM influence UDM with loud muffler, Ill fitting BBQ PIT, tinted headlamps, Lexus Style rear lights etc etc...
 
After checking out a few E36 manual with bad conditions on both exterior and interior, I have finally decided to take a rare E46 2.2 litre original Manual today. It comes with one of the best & reliable engine BMW ever made - M54 double vanos, and a very smooth orginal manual transmission. interior is very well taken care of. surprisingly, the power of 2.2 litre engine thru manual transmission is strong and powerful - no sign of under power.

I am more convinced to take the E46 when i read an article stating that the chassis rigidity is a massive 70% improvement over E36, though i have to fork out double of my original budget.

I saw this ad too. but year 2000 should be 323ci with M52TUB25 which although is higher cc at 2,494, the resulting bhp is only 168 which is the same with M54B22 that i booked.

It cost extra RM20k++ and with higher roadtax.

Thanks bro. I noticed u have a E39 525 Manual, that must be a real beast !!!

She's converted from B22 auto, with its current high rear diff gear ratio, it's fun to drive with top speed sacrificed.

Fuel consumption is excellent, 15-25% lower than B22 auto with double the fun.

Nothing beats an original manual I'd say!

Cheers.

I have thought of getting a 528 (now only around RM45k) and mod to manual. but that will be too much work and i am not sure whether the mechanic can do a good job for me. so i settle for ori for peace of mind.

I like the sentence " double the fun". after more than 15 years of using auto transmission i start to miss the "stick" for raw driving!
