[newbie_groovy]

hello guys!im planning to buy a 2nd hand bmw 316i 1998 model...i would like to ask kung marami na ba mabibilhan na murang parts at kung ung pag maintain ay di magastos..mga ilang percent ang pagkamahal nya as compared sa spareparts at maintenance sa jap cars..tnx po in advance.

good day sir... about your plan in buying a 2nd hand bmw 361i, hmmmm... its nice po.. pero ung mga spare parts up to now ganon pa din po. Thinking na luxury car ung mga unit ng bmw so ung mga spare parts po ay mahal din. Changeoil ng friend ko po kasi umabot ng 3,600 and change ng microfilter umabot na po ng 2,850...

BMW cars are nice naman po.. pero ung mga parts and maintenance lang ung mahirap..

till then.. hope it helps....

Try basic libis 50% off ang price nila from casa.

maraming "mura" (compare with casa), sportsline in banawe, Kyle car center in sikatuna for surplus parts, EAP in banawe, meron mga seller sa mga bmw clubs, maraming non-casa service centers. Mas mahal konti compare w/ jap cars ang parts pero siguradong magtatagal like bumili ka na rin ng orig parts for the jap car.

Maintenance halos same lang sa jap cars, example change oil, 3K++ this includes fully synthetic oil, filters, labor, etc.

Some mechanics do not recommend synthetic oil for older cars due to possible oil seal leak. How does an older bmw take the synthetic?
