Hello Sifus of the //M world.I am Shiva here. A small boy with a passion for BMWs who is looking to get his own in the near future.I have set my sights on the E46 M-sport 2.2, with the M54B22 engine if possible.Recently been going window-shopping here and there, it's quite hard to spot the particular model.I guess I will be approaching you sifus one by one to seek for advice and guidance.Do bless my entrance into this coveted club.Thank you.

Thank you bro mizhan and consoglieri. I'd love to join the TT. But I'll be working on Friday nights. I guess I will not be able to join them for now.

Welcome small boy to the forum...

aku ada stereng lori dan bas......kau ada....

 

[maverix12]

thank you sir Volvos525i. looks like the small boy term has become popular.

i'm still in process of preparing for the car - reading, test-driving, seeing, feeling, admiring.

since I don't have a UDM yet, can I come for the TT one day??

 

[antiquer]

U are always welcome to tt even without udm.. I suggest 2.5 or 3.0. :thumbup:

 

[Volvos525i]

Tt not mean for the car only but even for the lover of the car also can come n cit cat all night long huhu...

aku ada stereng lori dan bas......kau ada....

 

[maverix12]

thank you for the warm welcome Sirs.

I am still considering on whether to go for the 1.9cc, the 2.2 engine, or throw all cautions to the wind and go for the 325i M-Sport.

I sat in one last Sunday and it felt like a fighter jet.

My primary concern is on fuel consumption and maintenance.

I have been reading the E46 parts and maintenance thread, so I can approximate the maintenance regime a little.

Question is, the fuel consumption. Will it be something like the Perdana V6??

:driver::driver:Welcome. You can't go wrong with the 325i M-Sport. I still miss mine. Consumption should not deter you.:driver

thanks bro kengkok, mizhan, redbimmer and gendong. i'll definitely come for the TT one day. i'm working on US hours (night-shifts), so i'll finish work on Saturday mornings.

there will be one week where i'll be off on a Friday. itu malam jadi malam BMW-mania!

 

[maverix12]

Good morning grand-meisters.

I just took delivery of my E46 318i MSport yesterday.

First drive impressions were very good. Just can't get enough of it.

Thought of bringing her for an initial diagnostics check. Where would you recommend??

Also, tonight's TT session in MMZ, can I join in Sirs??
