I have heard b4 that one need to spend RM5,000 - RM7,000 to bring a second hand BMW to good condition. I hope from now I can start to enjoy the ride.
One word of advice for would-be buyers of second hand BMW car. If a second hand car dealer quote you a figure for the car, make sure you bargain and reduce the price by around RM10K. Luckily, I did that.
Btw, can someone recommend me some BMW specialist workshops in the vicinity of Subang Jaya who are reputable and can do a good job at reasonable prices, please.
