It's an early '07 car. No bluetooth, no USB, No foldable side mirrors, no shades for rear passenger side window... All these accessories will cost a bomb if retrofit. Another thing that bugs me is the mileage, 51K. Warranty another 8 months to go.

Hello JJT!
50000kms you say ? Well with 116000kms on the odo, here are the issues ive faced :
1. steering column leaked (changed by AB)
2. Rear left taillight color faded (changed by AB)
3. Front Disk rotors obliterated ! (changed by me)
4. Aircond expansion coil + expansion tank gave way (Changed by me - RM4000. Still waiting for kickback from BMW Malaysia for rm1600)
5. Shocks seem to be squeeling over bumps....(considering KWs as option)
Otherwise, car seems to be spot on
oh well....

IMO, your car is doing very well, Bimmer910. That's a small list of faults for having gone 116k, and are all normal wear and tear things.
51k in a year and a bit is higher mileage than normal, JJTan. Do check its history carefully as RM240k is still a quarter of a mill. A lot of dough if it turns out less than what you expected.

I did. Last offer was RM238K. But might not be getting it as it lacks a lot of the accessories found in the '08 model due to it being the first batch 325i Sport. Spoke to your friend in Ingress. He something about another BMW owned car coming in tomorrow. Will see what kinda pricing he can offer. If too high price, might as well just wait for the face-lift model or get a C230 instead.

hi bro, i seriously believe pre-reg is defined as cars with zero mileage, at most 10-20km due to puspakom JPJ etc, you can get roughly 20k less for same year pre-reg and even 30k (or more) less for cross-year pre-reg i believe. i got mine in between.
another advise..for some reason i have driven a few sapura test drive/demo cars. i've used one (in the list above) for 1-2 weeks and it is so much extremely alot difference when i took delivery of my own. I am not spelling about the HP of 320 and 325 difference, but things like transmission, handling, steering control etc whereas both of them should be sport package exactly.
When i took the demo car it is seemingly 20km .. i am wondering actually mileage can ever be reset by know-how ppl.

I would avoid demo cars.. u don't want to buy a DEMO car driven by us before..
Recently, I also had a close encounter with those who are actually responsible to clock up the mileage for such pre-reg or demo cars.. I guess the next time I want to get another bimmer, I know I can look for these group of people and check with them which unit is good and attractively priced..

Think twice too... through my experience of buying used-conti cars, low mileage or little driven cars doesn't seems at all to be healthy.

bro, this is just IMO..
For me, it's either zero mileage (new/pre-reg) or with mileage (pre-owned/used car). If it's with mileage, anything from little to heavy is the same, being this can really be reset. Bear in mind, a car being a frequent visitor to workshops also means little mileage.
When u sell you car next time, the dealer would not pay a premium for your "little driven" mileage, it's only by manufature year and perhaps, maybe service records.
Again, this is through what I experienced...especially weekend cars are of main concern. The most expensive parts of your maintenance of a car would be engine, transmission and air-cond. To summarize, there is a separate mechanical design of a car between "wear & tear parts" and "major component". One is meant for constant change, one is a life system.
If a car is driven everyday, you ONLY expense the wear and tear, which is norm to change all your lubrication, filter, changing your air-cond drier, ATF oil etc. These are all not expensive significantly.
However, many little driven cars have not complete the so-call "servicing mileage", so the owners don't yet change their air cond driers, they don't yet change their timing belts, no lubrication etc for a whooping long period. Adding to it, the car suffers a real cold state from 5 days rest to a sudden hot pressure in weekends.
This is when "major component" fails. Cases like air-cond compressor jam-up by dirt as drier not functioning, ATF leaked or even runs, con-rod problems etc. You end up changing GB, engine and even air cond compressors. These are very big bombs to spend.
