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.

i think 5 series un.. hehehe..

damn.. gud luking sbra.. hahaha..

**fundy** · May 22nd, 2003 09:32 PM

vince, thanks for your post. Actually, big chunk of the cost goes to oil. Is it possible to use mineral oil? or systhetic is a requirement? Btw, is it true that you can't tint bmw or else warranty is void? I think I read it somewhere in this forum.

**vince** · May 22nd, 2003 10:39 PM

Odell,

OO nga e long time no post! OKS naman!hehe. Yup the bigger the engine the wilder d cost!:roll:

Hinanap ko p pricelist ha para u hav an idea on how expensive it is to own a BMW. Muntik n nga ako malaglag upuan e BUTI MAY SANDALAN!HEHEHE

**vince** · May 22nd, 2003 10:56 PM

fundy, sana nga possible mineral oil noh! pero alam k hindi e! Pure synthetic lang talaga. Not all the time naman palitan nila oil e alam k if okay pa dagdagan lang nila! kasi yng akin 900+ lng singil nila s oil e. PERO PAG DRAIN NILA LAHAT HA 5K N AGAD YUN!

ABOUT d tint my frend bought a bnew 325i recently ayaw nga daw p tint, pag tinint daw papirmahin k ng papers na they are voiding the waranty of the vehicle. Pero i think with regards 2 the soundsystem lng ata at defoger. Baka daw maapektuhan transmission ng sounds e.

PERO YNG AKIN NAKATINT E!hehe CATZ gumawa. I dint notice any changes on the soundsystem. Pero syempre like all oder cars D m n pede masyado gamitin rear defoger.

Advice ko savor m muna walang tint! Mas maporma, kaya lng ingat s mga kidnapers at yung mga nghaharas s daan! kitangkita e.8)fundy, sana nga possible mineral oil noh! pero alam k hindi e!

ilan years ba ang warranty ng BMWs?..sa MB kasi 2 yrs.
kung 2 yrs din sa BMW.so,2 yrs ka rin magtitiis sa init na walang tint?.grabe naman sila.

**OTEP** · May 23rd, 2003 12:40 AM

Si vince pinsan ko iyan. :mrgreen:

Pansin ko lang sa haba ng listahan, may mga item nang pwedeng i-skip at bilhin na lang sa labas (in short, bring your own). Yung iba pwede mo na lang bilhin kay Joel.

*Coolant (anything with ethelyne glycol will work)
*Brake fluid (basta DOT3 pwede)
*Washer additive
*Alternator Belt (pwede na DAYCO)
*A/C Belt (DAYCO ulit)

Sa Kia dati hinihingi ko yung listahan BEFORE ako magpaservice. Para mabili ko na ang materials and stuff. Overpriced sa casa, eh. Nahihilo ako.

As for the tint, masyadong takot ang BMW dahil embedded sa glass ang antenna ng radio. Parang hindi nila naisip na embedded din ang antenna ng Expedition, Civic ES, and most new cars on the market today. DUH talaga, as in.

Kapag nag-deffoger ka naman, yung TINT ang masisira hindi yung defogger.
