Full tank refill when light lighted up ~RM100+.  Highway driving can go about 600+km (110-120km/h).  Faster will drink more fuel as power is used to overcome drag and skin friction.2. RON 95 can be used as stated in the Owner's Manual.  No problem at all using RON 95.  The car ECU will adjust to suit the fuel you use and it takes time.  So better don't switch from RON97 and RON 95 frequently and make the ECU having hard time to find the best timing.3. Service at Authorised Service Centre is expensive.  Outside there are a lot of BMW specialist can handle E46 just as well as Authorised Service Centre.  For cost, you can refer to the Parts and Maintenance Cost thread in 3 series E46 section which covered many things.  Engine oil is volume 6 liter.  Use at least a semi-synthetic oil but fully-synthetic preferred.4. High recommended to send to a reputable BMW specialist mechanic to check before purchase so that you know what is the problem come with the car.  Just a word of reminder, no matter how good is the mechanic, he is still no GOD and cannot possibly detect all problem in the car.  But at least he could tell you the major problem / costly replacement needed for your attention.Good luck.</blockquote>
