It's the cost of the parts that'll kill you

It may be cheaper in the end to get a more expensive 8 in better condition. And like what M54 said, with its misaligned panels it makes you think whatever caused it.

Hi, I would like to ask everyones honest opinion on the fuel consumption of a 1997 BMW 316. I am considering on buying one for my wife. The car is all stock and low mileage. Ive been having a hard time searching for information on the internet regarding its engine and fuel consumption. Thanks, your help will be appreciated.

Hi Marlon,

It should have the M43 B16 engine ... 1596cc / 102hp / 4 Cylinders

For a review and further details: http://www.parkers.co.uk/cars/review...odel=91&page=7

As always, fuel consumption depends on a lot of factors. Comparing it with other cars (like Japanese ones) on that website will give you a good idea.

hi peeps...have been a lurker here for some quite some time now. Great thread...very informative...keep it up.

question lang. i checked my car 1998 320i, seems like there's an oil leak on the crank shaft. this needs pulling off the A/T transmission.
who do you recommend aside from casa who can do this job? (yung mura lang ha)

thanks.

**Mecs** · March 20th, 2008 03:07 PM

our family owns a bmw 2001 325i executive. all i can say is that i haven't experienced a better ride yet than this car. handling is top notch and the car's engine is really breath taking lalo na nung bago pa sya. i broke into the 200km/h speed barrier with this car in star tollway. you can really feel your body slam back to the seats once you're tempted to mash the gas pedal. the only drawback is maintenance. had a problem with the computer box and suspension and it cost my dad 110k!!! sabi ko nga sa kanya pang-down payment na ng bagong sasakyan yun.

Autosport along Pasong Tamo ext. Better check with Nadji first because they have a long list of customers. This is where high end buy and sell traders bring their euros and exotics for repair.

Hi BMW owners! Does anyone know where i can find a shark fin antenna replacement for my E90? Mine got stolen last night while parked at UP Town center in Katipunan. Thanks a lot in advance.

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

**EQAddict** · August 28th, 2017 08:12 AM

Thats normal. Especially since its new and if you were driving it "hard".

Peugeot still the best car for me. I have the best car of Peugeot 308 moving from Luzon to Mindanao for almost 2 years and still very efficient cars to drive for.

**dreamur** · August 28th, 2017 04:19 PM

Speaking of peugeot (sorry for the OT), they are inviting people for a first peek of the 5008. Not sure about the price but it looks decent with plenty of toys.

Thank u for the reply sir, i was a little worried that im afraid to use it again without bringing it back to service for check up. Never experienced this in my other korean and japanese cars.

**Lemwellc** · August 29th, 2017 03:24 PM

And lots of excitement
