[QUOTE="king82, post: 396054, member: 17697"] hi bro...welcome to BMWCM... will try to answer some of the questions posed by you... 1. Betul ke BMW ni kereta yg sangat manja or senang rosak? [COLOR="RoyalBlue"]If you manage to get a good condition 2nd hand BMW and take care of it well e.g. frequent engine oil change maybe every 5,000 km, then, the car should be able to serve you well...all types of cars irrespective of make would surely have wear and tear e.g. engine and gearbox mountings,bushes, absorbers...even tyres[/COLOR] 2. Sparepart mahal?
