2nd hand bimmers

[cs_nognog]

Hi BMW owners,

I'm thinking of getting a late 90s BMW 320i E36, my usual SOP is to get all the belts changed, change oil, and a tune up, after the usual inspection of the under chassis and all.

Thus I'd like to know:

1. How much will it cost me to have the timing chain and auxiliary belts changed?

2. Change oil and tune up?

Ballpark figures are ok, thanks!

I think your choice is good to buy a car.But i suggest you,If you get a BMW car.You must purchase a new car.I think its a best.

somebody once told me that if you can't afford to buy a new euro car, don't purchase a used one. the cost and maintenance will become an isssue for someone who's on a budget.

If I can afford a new euro car I'll still buy the fairly new second hand one, if only to save on the initial depreciation. However, if at your current income, you can afford the maintenance but not the new euro car, then by all means get the euro car if that's your dream car.

Ideally, for people who are not filthy rich, you should have a fuel efficient low maintenance jap car and then you can have your second hand euro car that you only use once or twice a week and for special occasions. Rotating them is important so that the engine oil does not go all into the oil pan due to prolonged disuse.

A second hand BMW as a daily driver? Possible if your work is nearby, but if your work is far, you might be better off with the jap car as your daily driver. That's for regular people, of course if you're filthy rich it doesn't matter if you use it everyday.

not really. If you know what/where/how to buy a used bmw, owners' experience can be rewarding. Iba pa din syempre ang bnew. 3 series is a good model to start. 2nd hand prices are pretty reasonable, too. Magastos compared to a jap/kor brand pero kung wala ka namang bisyo like sugal or whatever, rewarding yourself isn't selfish. My 320i e36 is my daily drive pag walang delivery. For 350k or less you drive a better car than let's say, a civic or an altis. I say better 'cos i know my car pretty well. Parts are reasonble na din.

Guys, san pwede bumili ng extra service book?

[zeepey]

^ you can try german motors in libis. i ordered a manual for our '95 C280 about 3 years ago. medyo matagal nga lang parang 1 month kami nag hintay. cost is P4,000 afaik.

[Harangody]

Yan ba yung lagayan ng record ng tune-up, maintenance, etc? Yun po yung need ko.

[zeepey]

ah i thought manual. i'm not sure sa service booklet if they sell those. give them a call 6559512. so you're getting an 325i E46 na? did you ask why walang booklet?

[Harangody]

Yes, I'm getting the 325i na. Yung booklet para sa Z3 ng friend ko na na-Ondoy.

[daxyboy]

Great choice. I'm sure you'll enjoy the driving experience.

Has anyone bought a pre-owned BMW from CASA.
I am interested in a BMW 320d and I am wondering if it's worth buying a pre-owned from CASA.

Got me one last year, E90 in Deep Sea Blue color at Prestige Makati with 1,300kms. Advantage of pre owned is you'll get the car with a depreciated value already in a brand new condition pre inspected by the casa. Downside is you'll only get 1 year warranty with it. With 17tkms on the clock already, daily driven, car is still performing the same the day i got it from the dealer

Sir im not actually sure but I think there was a recall in e90 ,It pointed to potential problems with the battery cable cover, which it said may be incorrectly mounted.

Sir, i need your help. Im planning to buy E39 5 series of my uncle. Imported ung unit but the problem is meron pa ba spare parts ung ganitong unit? I want to restore sana. Saan kaya makakabili ng pyese and good service repair shop for bimmer? TIA
