hi guys, plan to get my first BMW, wish u guys can help me with this...there are several options:1. e46 yr oct 2000, asking price RM121 k, done 160+++ kms2. e46 yr nov 2000, asking price RM 128 k, done 70+++ kms3. e46 yr feb 2001, asking price RM 130 k, done 80+++ kmspersonally i prefer the option 3, but can anyone tell me what would the price be if i buy in the beginning of yr 2006, it is only 3 months away... would be a lot different compare to now :dunno: if yes, should i offer the owner the lower price, and how low should that be? :D what will the resale price be after 5 years?after tast drive all the cars above, i felt the third option is a little bit (just a little bit) powerless compare to the first two, why? :eek: there is some strange noise when i start the engine, sound like some fan / belt noise, just for like 1 to 3 seconds...how to know whether there is any hidden problem?how heavy is the cost to maintain the 5 yrs old bimmmer , cause after reading the forum for months, i knew the $$$$ can be quite scary...hope to get all the sifus to help me with this, thank you very much :D
 
HI Newbuddy, welcome. Are you thinking of getting a 325 e46?. Option 3 obviously looks the most appealling of the 3 mainly because it's the newest with so little price difference. Try check out post e46...maintenance, will give you some ideas on wear and tear $$$$. all the best
 
welcum newbuddy

looking at the price and age .. i'm sure it's 318i. To know what to look for, check out E46 maintenance thread. Before you buy, you should sent-in for inspection.... especially if it is from a car dealer. The bmw specialist will test drive and plug-in the computer to check for any problems. Fee is only about RM100. Also check the VIN number to see if the car is the correct model and year made.
 
Ya.....3 option seem a better deal....But better send the car for inspection b4 commit...... :D Good Luck.....
