Hi all,I am new here. Looking to get my first beemer. Thinkin whether should go for E46 325i or E90 320i. My main concern is in terms of maintainence costs and reliability for a long run.I have checked out E46 325i 2004 model and E90 320i 2006 model.Which one do you all think I should go for?Thanks a lot for the advice in advance!! cheers!!

6 potters will generally costs more to maintain (during oil service) but overall maintenance boils down to the condition of the car. Hence, the usual advice is to get both cars checked by experience mechs prior to purchasing.

Do check out the sub-sections of the forum to find out more.

If you can bear with the maintenance of the 6 potter, doesn't mind older but yet still handsome look of the E46, just go with the 325i. Both models should have about 20k price difference. Extra 20k can be used for mods perhaps?

Thanks bro.... My next question is, I saw a 2004 325i with clocked mileage of 60k KM... can this be real? can BMW clocks be reset or changed? And where do i get experienced BMW mech to check the car? any suggestion?
