Normally we would always look for the best deal ie. Cheapest whole shopping for new car. Believe me when I said that my quest for the perfect E60 had brought me to countless car dealer in Klang Valley - from Cheras to Downtown KL to Jalan Ipoh before walking through Beemer's door.First impression was good as they deal mainly with exotic cars. Their boss is huge fan of Porsche so expect to see few units in the showroom. I would say that in terms of price, they are definitely not the cheapest in town. I have found shortlisted a few units ranging from RM280k to RM300k (depending on specs). But it was the hunch and feel good factor that made me bought from Beemer. Prior to my purchase, I have already joined BMWCM as forumer to ask for guidance. Frankly the more you read about the potential problems, the more you'd be scared into buying. Problems like makan minyak hitam, active steering fault, etc.. You'd have think twice about buying E60. Bear in mind that there is no 100%.. there are bound to be lemon in everything. What you can do to protect yourself is to engage someone with diagnostic machine in order to check for problems as well as real mileage. Yes most (if not all) dealers will temper with the odometer especially registered one. If you want low mileage car, go for Japanese spec.. 2007 and 2008 models are quite cheap now but to be safe, request the car to be checked to see if there's any tempering with the odometer.. If u can fork $$$ for an E60, what's a couple hundred of ringgit to you?? Just for piece of mind bro! Most of the time, Japanese spec E60 is the safest choice as most of them really have low mileage (my E60 clocked 11000km only and proven with the diagnostic machine).. The only thing to worry about is the radio frequency with up to 90GHz so not many choices of radio station available. However, nothing is impossible.. Look through the showroom for my thread - now I can watch DVD, listen to radio and songs via USB.. You just have to spend some $$$ to create your dream ride :top:If you love E60.. Go for it! If you are worried about the maintenance then might as well forget it. Let say you clock 30000km every year, 4 tyres already cost ard 3600 (can get expensive if you use Continental brand), average service 600 every 10000km is RM1800 total not including brake pad + sensor, spark plug x 6 units, and other miscellaneous stuff along the way.. Please allocate RM10000 just in case! Hopefully it's not that high but hey we never know ;DAll the best bro!!!</blockquote>
