E46 M-Sport or E90 Executive

[niky]

Z3 looks exotic, but it really isn't worth it. Puny 1.8 liter engine, ancient trailing arm rear suspension. For the same price, you could get a real sports car, like a 200SX. Given what's underneath the skin, buying the Z3 is like getting a 300-400k roadster then paying an extra 200-300k for the badge. Poor bargain.

Paradoxically, despite sharing the same ancient trailing-arm rear end, I like the E30... beautiful little car, especially if you get it the two door 325i with a stick.

e46 msport na 318i (2.0 /5speed) nasa 700k nalang. Mga '02 or '03. 325i konti lang difference sa price wag lang smg.

[Harangody]

Ano po ba difference ng pre-facelift sa post-facelift?

[zeepey]

Guys ano mas okay?

- BMW 318i M-Sport + BMW Z3 (Z Plate)
- E90
- 325i M-Sport + Cheap Project E36

No problem sa parts and maintenance. May nakukuhanan kami na mas mura ng 60% or more compared sa stealership.

Z3 na Z-plate? the Z4 came out 2004. alam ko Z-plates were issued early 2004. i'm not sure, though.

i strongly suggest stick to one unit muna. regardless kung may extra budget ka pa. with cars like these nothing goes according to plan . E46 318i msport is the best all rounder compared sa E90 and E46msport 325i. fuel effecient, fun to drive on straights and twisties.

why not:

318i msport + gen.1 mazda miata . it's a better drive than the Z3 kung hindi lang din 6 cylinder. i don't buy that "looking good while moving slow" thing hehe.

Nag down na ko sa 325i, baka Jimny na lang kunin ko na extra.

[renzo_d10]

^ Better choice, IMO. At least meron ka kotse na dadalhin kapag masama yung weather. Pero may nahanap ka na Jimny na 2nd hand ? Hirap maghanap, eh.

Very good choice bro! Merong kotse for all weather conditions! Yun nga lang baka mararamdaman mong sobrang mabagal ang Jimny after you just came from the 325i.

Wala pa Jimny guys, mas-ok ba yun sa mga 2 door na Pajero?

[renzo_d10]

IMO, oo. Luma na kasi yung 3 door Pajero eh, surplus pa.

[yapoy86]

converted yan mga 2 door pajero.. jimny na lang... maganda nga yan pag galing ka sa jimny pag sakay mo sa 325i eh ang bilis ng pakiramdam mo....

minsan kasi pag sanay ka na masyado sa mabilis na kotse.. hindi mo na maramdaman yung hatak nya.. kaya tendency is to look for more..

[GTi]

Nasa sayo yan bro. The Jimny is a safer choice, though the Pajero 3 door has more presence, a much bigger engine and better off roading capabilities. The 3 door Pajero is a good car as long as you are 101% sure about the quality of its conversion, and you are getting a relatively new unit. If you are willing to take the risks and pains in finding a good unit, ultimately, this is the better car.

This one looks really nice for one: Sulit ID 4457418

You can get those gen 1 pajero 3doors in orig lhd. Mga galing u.s bases. Most of them nga lang are gas fed.

[renzo_d10]

Honga Harangody, malakas sa gas yung Pajero 3dr.

Meron ka nang E46, tama na yun sa pagiging malakas sa gas. Haha!

[Harangody]

Sige sige. Research pa ko. Kailangan ko lang ng mini SUV pang travel papunta sa Clark.

[renzo_d10]

Oo sige tsaka alam ko pahirapan talaga kumuha ng 2nd hand na Jimny. Kasi konti lang bumibili at konti lang nagbebenta.

1st gen CRV? Ayaw mo?

[GTi]

Kung yung Pajero gumagamit naman ng either the 4D56 or 4M40 hindi naman ganon kalakas sa krudo, mas mura pa ang diesel. How much is the budget this time?

[renzo_d10]

Diba yung 3dr Pajero may V6?

[GTi]

Diba yung 3dr Pajero may V6?

Oo, eh di huwag niya kunin ang V6. May 4M40 pa naman eh. My uncle used to drive a 3 door M/T diesel Pajero before he went to Taiwan. He liked it a lot. No problems whatsoever with the conversion, to quote his words "submarine kapag nasa baha" , malakas humatak, and still gets a good 8km/L.

Local ba yung 4M40 na Pajeros? Or import pa rin?

*Harangody: Kung trip mo kumuha ng converted paj, siguro PM mo si testament11 paadvice ka sakanya.

[Starex_Gold]

Alam ko wala naman local na 3-door.
