odell,
as far as d 3 series is concerned, 5 ang variants nyan. yung 316i, 1600 cc ang makina tapos d pa leather ang interior.it also comes w/ a manual tranny only.yung 318i limousine, facelifted na yung front and rear lights and it comes wid a new valvetronic engine.d engine is 1995cc kaya 2 liters na din and comes w/ a steptronic transmission. kaya nga lang, d leather ang interior and d mags are not d 7-spoke dat is similar to d 325i. yung 318i executive naman, same engine as d 318i limo pero leather ang interior at 7-spoke yung mags. d 318i m sport version has d same engine, interior, as d exec model pero has 17inch tires, stiffer springs, and d body kit. lastly, d 325i is d most powerful among d bunch due to its 2.5cc displacement and comes also w/ d steptronic transmission. hth:D

ano bang generation ang hinahanapan mo ng details?

E36 (early to late 90's) or E46 (1999 and up)?

Some quick facts -

The normal E36 3-series was available in sedan, coupe, convertible and hatchback - with engine sizes ranging from 1.8 I-4 (may 1.6 din yata) up to 2.5 I-6 (325i/ci), with a max of about 180 hp. The E36 M3 (M-series) was a 3.2L I-6 making about 240 hp in US version and 320 hp for the Euro. The M3 is basically a top of the line 3-series with upgraded performance, suspension and brakes - but the difference is night and day :mrgreen:

E46 3 series is available with engines from 1.6 (316) to 3.0 (330). The 330i/ci makes 225 hp. The E46 M3 makes 333 hp with a 3.2L I-6.

Of course, when you say M-series it includes more than the 3-series variants. There is also the 400hp M5, based on the 5-series, and the M coupe and M roadster which are based on the Z3 platform with M3 engines

pag 316.. narinig ko na mahina daw un engine para sa kaha nya.. how about un 318..?

[momoyster]

d 318i model wich has d 1995cc valvetronic engine has a rating of 143bhp. a brand new 318i m sport costs P2.390M. i tink a certified pre-owned m-sport costs P1.90M. jst check d newspaper regularly coz lagi namang may ad ang bmw weder brand new or certified pre-owned.

Hi bmw owners! First time here and just bought my forst card. Second hand series 1 2005 120i. I'm having problems on my car. First night the car won't start when I pushed the start button. The owner said this never hppened before with him maybe I touched something or did something I shouldnt have done. The first owner called a mechanic and told hin I should remove the wite from the battery wait ten minutes and put it back on again in which I did and it started. It happened the 2nd time around after 3 days of smooth driving and did the same fix and it worked again. The first owner said I might nee to have the car rerogrammed again because it might have triggered something with the program. Any thoughrs on this? Hassle kasi kung lagi mangyayari sakin yun eh. Thanks. And how the I make a new thread here in this subsection?

hi, im a newbie in this thread. I have a 3 week old 320d. Very happy with the car but after driving it yesterday, i noticed a burnt smell when i got out of the car ( no such observation while i was inside), cant figure out where it is coming from, temp has always been at 100 deg celcius. But my blower under the hood started running after i turned off the engine ( for about 5mins and spontaeously stop thereafter). Is this normal? Thank u in advance

It's common with turbo cars. I have noticed the same thing when I just had my Fiesta Ecoboost. If the engine was turned off before it has reached its cooldown temperature, the cooling system will continue to run for a few minutes before shutting down. My neighbor who had a bunch of turbo Volvos told me that the best way to deal with it is to let the car idle for a minute or two before shutting it off. If you got back from a long trip, maybe add another minute or so. For my Forester XT, I just check the turbo gauge to know when to shut down the engine. The turbo pressure is set at a certain number when the engine is at idle state.

Thank you sir, this thread is really helpful.

last i heard the M3 is selling for 5.5m and the M5 is 8.4m 8O . this was about 6 months ago.

[fundy]

momoyster, you seem to know alot about bmw's. the pics on the bottom, is that your bmw? Am sorta like odell. thinking if I should get a sedan or an suv. if a bmw second hand or a new suv (budget constraint). Are you a happy bmw owner? how are parts, maintenance costs?

[Hamann]

Just a correction, the 316i uses a 1.8 liter engine, and the e46 M3 has 343 bhp. The e46 318i is practically as fast as the e36 320i. With the latter having 7 more bhp, but carrying a heavier weight due to the six cylinder engine.

As for the e36 M3, the US version had 240hp, while the Euro version had 289. It is only the e36 M3 Evo which carried 321 Bhp, and there is only one known unit (a silver one) here in the country.

For 2m I would get a pre-owned e46 330d, and there is a black one with 15km at Prestige Makati. The diesel variant is suprisingly every bit as fast as its gas counterpart and is practically as fast as a US version e36 M3 :D
