    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?

    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

    momoyster, I know BMW will be fun to drive, am just concerned about cost of ownership and headaches that come with it. People I know who have bmw's don't drive them everyday. Me I want an everyday day that is fun to drive and rewarding to own. My current everyday car is a pajero. The size and ride am ok with, just complaining about the 'slowness'. ha ha. am thinking if I should upgrade to new pajero or get a bmw. ... replace my lancer with a bmw.

    Hamann, You're a pure blooded bmw? that your everyday car? Btw, bmwclub used to have a forum. is it gone now?

    fundy,

    sir, medyo mataas po yung cost of ownership ng bmw. nagmakaawa lang tlga ako sa parents ko na kumuha nung medyo nakaluwag. yung gasoline expense, kapareho sya nung everyay car ko na galant vr, kaya naman nya na maka 7km/l. ang grabe lang tlga, as far as i can c ang headache ay yung expenses after paying d initial purchase, mahal ang parts n service, mahal ang insurance, mahal ang registration. d bmw wil b a gud everyday car, kaya nga lang, medyo oc kac ako sa mga paradahan dhil pag masikip ang paradahan, cgurandong magkakaroon ng mga dents agad, pinipili ko na lang yung occasions na gagamitin sya.i make it a pt 2 use it 2x a wk. nababagalan po kayo sa pajero?ako po e kuntento na dun sa capabilities nung 2.8 diesel pajero namin. kapag nasanay na kayo sa pajero, mas madami kayong dapat pag-ingatan pag bmw na dala nyo, ie, lubak, humps, pati pag approach ng inclines dahan-dahan na. pero sa speed, ok yun. also, b prepared 2 go w/ no tint for 2 yrs coz it wil void d vehicle waranty. pag tpos na yung waranty, dun palang pwede pa-tint.duno d connection but dat is wat d dealer told me. 8O
    odell,
    d naman sayang kac yung pajero namin tlgang sa bukid gnagamit yun, minsan lang sya mabakante sa bhay pag umuwi dad ko from d province.'99 model pa ito na 4X4 pa wid a manual transmission.

    yes it will and your service intervals will be quicker, and yun nga, medyo mas mataas ang maintenance costs. so mukhang pareho kami ni momoyster na 2x a week yung bimmer than use another beater car for daily. the beater car that i use now naman is a hilux, so parang night and day when i switch driving between both :lol:
