[scarab]

....tama ba yang nakikikta ko? a freeflow fireball type exhaust?

....depende rin ata sa gumagamit. diniscourage kasi erpats ko ng mga kaibigan niyang bumili ng bimmer dahil para daw silang na-oospital tuwing tune-up. so bumili si erpats ng 2nd hand na benz, ayun parang na-a ICU naman pakiramdam ni erpats sa dami ng pinapagawa.

regarding the ecu, my friend ordered one from BMW in HK for less than 70K bnew shipped, so figure how much "patong" local manufacturers put.

also, in most cases, unless the ECU is literally fried, it can be repaired.

Parts for E36 are comparable to modern midsize luxury cars like Accord/Camry/Cefiro etc.

One thing you must look out for is the extremely annoying upholstery sa sidings that never fails to peel off and cracking weatherstrips.

sabi ni sir BM 30k daw eh.
how'd that happen?

after my ECU got damaged, some banawe people tried to fix it. i have no confidence in their method (which is to replace all obviously damaged capacitors and diodes). heck i could do better than that, i'm better-trained than them. anyway they failed to fix it.

however the BMW's use bosch motronic units, which i believe are much better-documented than the usual jap black boxes due to all the aftermarket stuff out there for it. so i would believe a *qualified* person would be able to fix them without hit-and-miss parts replacement.
