hi,

i drive a m3.

NAVI vs SUNROOF= THE LATTER

2002 MODEL POST FEB IS OK, NO NEED DO RECALL CAMPAIGN AND IF MILEAGE IS LOW, BETTER LA

THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE SUCH QUANDARIES. i HAVE ALL OF IT, NAVI/CAR PHONE/SOFT TOP WITH HARD TOP/HARMAN KARDON SOUND SYSTEM/FOLDING SIDE MIRRORS/BI-XENON

anyone but with manual tranny..............

I'd go for at least a 2002 car with average mileage. In Malaysia I wouldnt be to bothered about not having Sat Nav I dont think its that big a factor come resale time, as opposed to the UK where theres hundreds of Used M3's to choose from.

Good luck in the search

hi thanks for the headup guys,

actually its more about aesthetics vs practicality. to be more practical none of the accessories should be in the list but aesthetics will help when it comes to resale value. then....

for me manual = fun, been once on dsc's/smg car, it cant push my adrenaline higher

forget the sat nav and just get yourself one of those garmin nuvi's or tomtom's.

why does everyone say manual? i drive an SMG2 and it is awesome... especially when you put it at highest setting... and revs do not drop by that much when shifting...

 

[azzy-CSL-wuzzy]

just one more thing to add, do not confuse the DCT for the SMG, they are totally different systems...

and to your question supafly, i'll go no (3)...
