How much do the E36 and E46 cost nowadays? The E46 I see in BF are priced around 500k-600k.

If 325i siguro ganyan nga mga 500k+, but if it's a 318i it should be in the 400 range nalang.

The E46 looks better indeed. Avoid the economy model 316i.

We had this in the late 90s to early 00s. It was averaging around 6.5km/L... cannot say anymore about our traffic today so deduct 1-2km/L.

Inmo, the body of e36 is more solid build compare to e46 body.

Maybe the body is too heavy compare to the newer models of bm. Surely it will affect the fuel consumption.

Had a 316i before, never got to actually compute the fuel consumption, but coming from a Civic EK Lxi, it seemed to give decent fuel consumption as far as I can remember. The power was pretty decent I remember taking it all the way up to 180km/h and it felt pretty well planted compared to my previous Civic at 160km/h. Maintenance is on the high side, pero marami na gumagawa ng BMW ngayon outside of the casa. I only sold it because the ABS light lit and brought it to the casa for diagnosis and was handed a 75k estimate to replace the ABS system, eh ang problema walang gumagawa ng BMW at that time other than the casa. Replaced it with a Mercedes C220 and my maintenance costs was halved since marami akong kilala sa Benz circle.

Had the chance to own an E36 316i and now A Z3 and an E39. Basically if you're after economy, go for the newer E46 with M43 (316/318) engine. Although underpowered, the M43 is built like a tank. The interior and exterior of the E46 is much more refined. The dash is simply perfect. Not that the E36 is bad but the e46 is much better. Parts for the E46 is quite abundant na din.
