Is it really true? I'm planning to buy one soon but just want to make sure I gey my money's worth. Probably I can also get feedback here who has bought one (2nd hand bimmer) and could tell how was thier experience and was it really worth it kahit used na sya. Thanks in advance on whatever advise you can share and appreciate all the help.

Thanks.

thanks,

gerry

Gerry, very hard to find a Z3 nowadays given the ban on importing BMWs through the usual ports we know where they come through. You can visit the BMW Car Club Philippines site and post a want ad there. Good luck on your search.

Oh wait, is it a w124 AMG? Anyways, the W124`s looks aint dying.

When I see one on the road or in the parking lots, i just cant help it stare, esp if the exterior looks good.

Style is a matter of taste. For me the MB designs are too old school and conservative. Masyadong pang-matanda. Kung gusto mo mala-DOM ang image OKs lang mag-MB ka. Personally I find the BMW designs much more attractive, not to mention its a lot more fun to drive. I had a relative who sold his MB SLK and replaced it with a VW, and he was a lot more satisfied. If you have a driver and would be driven around, go ahead get an MB. But if you want a car thats fun to drive, get a BMW. Maintenance wise as mentioned by some guys if you know where to look it is not really so expensive. If you can afford the car maintenance of a Jap SUV/Accord/Camry, then PMS costs should be within your reach.

If you can find / afford an M3 that would be a great choice!

But for practicality try looking for 2000-model E46, which would be a good choice. Its new enough and yet doesnt have too much electronics that the current model E90s have. The newer models rely too much on the car's on-board computer to inform you when your PM schedules are rather than going with a Japanese manufacturer's regular 5k,10,40km checkups.

you may try my mechanic rico flores (09217702566, 09072968738, 4964552), he is based in QC but he has his own service so probably he can help you. he's been doin engine, mechanical and electronic maintenance of my e46 for almost a year now. rico though is such a busy guy, he's an independent mechanic specializing in euro cars. backyard business but most of the time bmw and MB ang naiiwan sa shop. just check with him

you may need to go to a bmw casa for computer diagnostics though and that's 2.3-2.7K for one car.
