Message: <blockquote data-quote="eddiefiola" data-source="post: 183528" data-attributes="member: 125">e46 fanatic, thankx for your input. from your nickname, i guess u are really fanatic about e46. n there's nothing wrong about that. well, i've driven pre-facelift n facelifted e46. both are the same. crap steering feel, high speed nervousness n need full concentration. n mind you, i've driven more than 10 units of e46 (mixture of pre-facelift n facelifted). pinjam member punya kereta lah..... even the m3 e46 also was condemned in regards to the steering weight/feel. funny, harap enjin aje power n well-sorted chassis aje.....steering tak sedap... my e46 was facelifted. year 2004. no difference from pre-facelift. n i even change my steering rack. change NEW!!!  bought new from auto bavaria johor bahru but still the same feeling.  what i did back then was tighten the steering rack but still the steering feel was pure crap. sorry i keep on saying crap coz i didn't expect that proton cars have better feel. i chose proton for comparison coz i think proton is the car that most people hate n look down upon to. come to think of it, why people at bmw so stupid creating a good-looking car that can go fast but creating nervousness to the drivers. funny....... well, to be fair to e46 owners.....hehehe...... steering weight is a subjective thing. different people have different feelings. some do not bother by the light steering coz it's bmw mahhh........ as long as the weight of the steering is good at cornering, they don't bother. i guess, most of our time we are driving at zig-zag road....... but the truth is truth, it is lighter than proton cars at high speed....... no wonder tengku mahaleel claimed proton is asia's answer to bmw. i guess, there is some truth to that.....<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" />  jgn marah, this is my opinion. my advice to future e46 owners, please test drive the car first. don't simply membabi buta buy the car n then put all the pseudo-m3 bodykit to it. talk about bodykit, kita selalu kutuk bila org bawak wira letak bodykit evo. kutuk habis-habis, "cakap kalau wira tu, wira lah. jgn berangan nak jadi evo". tapi aku kelakar jugak tgk bebudak yg letak m3 bodykit kat 318i....hahahahaha......... balik semula ke e46, test drive the car at low speed n high speed. usually low speed no problem. at least when drive high speed, try getting 160 to 200km/h.  n to current e46 owners, kalau tak sedap tu, tukar aje kereta lain hehehehe.......... buy the e46 if u like it. at the end of the day, it's your money n u work hard for it...........</blockquote>
