Hi fellow Bimmer gurus,I'm new to this site. Now contemplating to buy a second hand Bimmer E46 318 (dunno to go for CBU or CKD). Heard that maintenance is very expensive. So, need some advise.1. Price range for a 2002 to 2003 model.?2. What to look out for in a second hand bimmer?3. What is the usual maintenance costs ie oil change, oil filter and etc?4. What is the major service after 100KM?5. Any good service center in klang?Thanks..I'm planning to buy in the next three months. So hopefully this information will help me to zoom in for a better Ultimate Driving Machine

Aiyah, just buy a 320 2.2 lah, no point going for 4 potters. Money is not an issue to you, and besides "you only live once". Buy buy buy. :yahoo:

Take a look at the newspaper

2. What to look out for in a second hand bimmer?
Good owner

3. What is the usual maintenance costs ie oil change, oil filter and etc?
Depends on you and the place you go

4. What is the major service after 100KM?
Normally people dont do major service after 100KM only.

5. Any good service center in klang?

nlexis,
why dont you read the thread under "BMW TALK" abt our fren's misadventure with their e46. Their thread and feedback from others do open my eyes, so, no e46 for me, e39 maybe..

But then, dont let this dampen ur quest to buy the UDM !
