woodfire,

Capalangan naman is a mix of local and imported vehicles which got parted out either legally or illegally.

Baka imported yung 323i block.

Hopefully.

Promdiboy, Some times I feel I can out run the 2.8 using my 2.5 manual but sometimes parang ako naman ang iniwan. Hindi ko sure. :D

Otep, you driven the 2.8 automatic? how do you find it?
Oo nga, baka kidnapping maging problema ko with the bmw. kung carnap, at least I have insurance.... hassle lang nga.8O

woodfire, ikaw dapat tanungin... since you have both bmw and pajero. If you had to pick or rank them which would be your first choice and why? :D

**fundy** · May 21st, 2003 05:21 PM

otep, when will the new pajero be out? yun evo in the other thread, that would be the perfect combination of a pajero and a bmw. :D

Thats actually true. If they really want to carnap your car then the bad news is that they're going to point a gun at your head to get it. Well if it's gonna be carnapped in the end anyway then better than they just take it away from you right?

20"s can fit a 3 series, but you will need to do a little work with the fenders and wheel wells. Besides, 18s are the most you should go for. Any further than that doesn't contribute to grip or better handling and decreases acceleration because of the added weight.

Odell, which series did you see, a 7? 20s can easily fit into that. Or that might be the black 523i with 20 inchers that I know of.

for pure driving pleasure- bmw
now that i have heavily tweaked (and still in the process) my bmw, i expect it to be more pleasurable to drive hehehe! the thing is, i got a lot of technical help from bmw owners from abroad (mostly in the u.k.), so one gets the feeling that the admiration for the car is indeed global!

for a good old reliable drive on a daily basis - pajero or my pick-up especially if its raining and flooded. it gets you from point a to b period! and because it has a diesel engine, it is easy and cheap to maintain.

fundy,
2.8 manual pa lang ni Odell na-drive ko. Yung matic namin dito is 6G72 V6 engine, eh. Ok ang hatak niya.

Lalo na at sanay na ako sa kupad ng 2.5TD.

**fundy** · May 22nd, 2003 01:06 AM

ha ha. I love the look of the 2.5 intercooler pajero and would like to keep it for life.... pero kupad talaga so sometimes I just wanna get rid of it.... sort of like a love hate relationship.:D Yung trooper, ok acceleration pero di ko talaga type yung looks niya.

**fundy** · May 22nd, 2003 01:13 AM

Btw, I talked with my insurance agent today, cost of insuring bmw is almost 2X of cost for pajero using same price.... talk about cost of maintenance.8O
