Kung ok ang condition, I would suggest to go for the C180K. Eto ba yung may sport option? It looks nicer inside and out (subjective), power is ok (vs a 316), and pwede na ren yung options vs a bare 316.
But are you sure you can only get a 316 with that budget? I think you can get an early 323 or more recent 318 at least. Personally, I find E46's very ordinary and not so much of a headturner anymore but at least you get a satisfying drive.
In terms of resale, I think di naman sobra nagkakaiba lahat and the more expensive the car, the bigger hit later on.
I was considering the 316 because i know i will have some spare in making it look good like 17" or 18" mags, maybe a new body kit from A-toys. I noticed that the C180Ks are relatively more expensive which will lead me no room for further "improvements". Watcha think?
Bry, based on the ads that i have been seeing, its priced normally between 1.6-1.9M. Medyo mataas nga e. i actually like the shape of the MB C-Class better than the 2000-2004 BMW 318i. I actually decided to wait until the prices go down. BTW, anyone here knows the difference between the Avantguard, Kompressor and the Elegance for the C-Class (2002-2004 models)? and the diff between the 180, 200 and 240 C? they all look thesame to me salamat po
thanks kyle618, im just really looking for the best value possible. i already talkd to atoy regarding the m3 body kits and the new rims. it might cost me about P150T so if i can find a good E46 na worth 800-900T, then go na siguro ako. BTW, yung E46 yung 316i-320i na year 2000-2004 ryt?
Mahal ng body kit. You can use that money to set up your car with something else, rims, sounds, angel eyes, spoiler and sport side mirrors. Ok na naman porma ng e46 e, the M look is pretty much the same as stock.
