odel, yun pajero ko is same with otep and kc boy. medyo kupad. I haven't driven the one you have. it should be faster a bit naman. baka boring naman if I have two pajero's. isipin ng lahat either me no taste or sobra loyal sa pajero. ha ha. Takot lang me sa maintenance cost of bmw. I like either the M sport or 325. Pajero maintenance is like any other pickup truck so ok na ok. :D

momoyster, what do you mean 'medyo oc kac ako sa mga paradahan' btw, my previous post is for you pala. nahilo lang ako sa name mo and odell. I think si odell same case kami. gusto namin bmw but want to know everything we're getting into or might get into big trouble. :D

I am also curious why there is so many second hand 'almost' new bmw being sold. especially by the dealers. Dami ba 'na shocked' bmw owners that they quickly want to sell?8O

fundy, sir "oc" means obsessive compulsive, its a psychology term. in my case, sobrang pag-iingat bordering to paranoia in my case :mrgreen: ganda po yung m sport, yun tlga choice ko b4 kac nga aggressive yung dating w d bodykit kaya lang natuto na ko sa evryday car ko na vr na mababa ang harap at medyo firm ang shocks so my family selected a more comfortable setup.

let me tel u d joke played by d service advisor na nakaibigan na namin sa bmw wen my mom paid our service bill, (pero all d time alam ko na only P5k yung babayaran namin and dat was d amt i told na my mom 2 prepare)

mommy ko: magkano na bill namin?
sa: ma'am, P34,076 po.
mommy:ano?! kala ko mga P5k lang (turns to me)
sa: joke lang po ma'am, kaya po talaga may sandalan ang mga upuan namin dito sa service reception kac malalalag ang mga customer pag tingin nila sa billing statement :D

as far as d proliferation of many certified pre-owned bmw cars sa dealership, i duno sir tlga e. i heard dati na ito yung mga low-mileage cars na sumuko na yung owners sa maintenance expenses (rumor lang)

Fundy & Odell,

Yep, I use it everyday, and have a 00' accord as backup. I guess you can call me full blooded as this is my third bimmer...used to be a benz lover hehehehe

There is absolutely no problem using it everyday. In fact if you see how we drive them in our fun runs and trackdays you might pity the car (I in fact pity my car already and have trimmed down on the track events).

As for the almost new cars, I'm sure that there are owners who do sell them after a short while (as with any car brand there always will be), but there are a good number of cars that come from the BMW phils office which are used by their employees. Their cars are changed every 10,000km, after which they are sold and given new ones.

BMWs are very good on rough roads, but not as smooth as the Mercs. As you know, there is always a compromise between comfort and performance in terms of a car's suspension. What gets me though is how comfortable bimmers can be while being able to give fantastic performance.

Oh and here is the link to our ezboard, we had to separate it due to certain BMW car club policies :wink:
