Hello everyone...Its been awhile since I posted anything or be active so I guess I need not reintro myself ya :)Gonna take ownership of a 03' Jap Spec 318i(N42) M-sport soon, its 1 owner since import in 08, mileage is 90k so I guess its pretty ok. Test drove and everything is still firm and silky smooth. Managed to read all relevant postings on this section and boy its exhaustive but enlightening. Didn't target the 6-pot coz I already own an e34 2.0 M50 so I guess the 3er will do as my daily ride.Decided to take the plunge on a 4-potter despite numerous 'issue's which ultimately boiled down to the 25k maintenance and perhaps misuse / lack of maintenance / bad mechs / workshops.Hope to receive a warm welcome and to get valuable advices from you sifus here. Cheers :)
 
Welcome back!

I had the N42 before for several years without any major hickups...

With proper scheduled service, preventive maintenance etc; you'll be enjoying your 4 pot NA ride for awhile... at least until the quest for more power bugs you just like most of us here :)
 
thanks guys :)...

BC: perhaps :)...I tasted it when I had my uncle's e28 528i (M) couple of years ago...fully loaded with M5 kit and ori BMW Recaros and yellow bilsteins...now thats pure power...unfortunately it didnt stand the test of time and the road tax was getting to me..lol..sold it cheaply...
