Like a friend of mine who bought a used E36, planning to convert it to 2JZ-GTE later. But now before he got the money to swap, his 318i seems to be giving a few problems already. One of it is something to do with fuel delivery. Whenever his revs his RPM high and releases the throttle, the engine will be shaking badly and the engine will just shut off unless you continue pressing the throttle. He says the fuel delivery is not enough.Beemers are towkay cars. Anything rosak, can send to workshop and company pays for the repair, whatever the damage was. Boss will drive the car and show to ppl his status.
For wage earner, to own a BMW can be risky. Wrong day, the beemer go into workshop....the repair bill would be shocking until no mood to eat rice liow (Banyak Masuk Workshop & Banyak Makan Wang fame). hahahah....
20k km per year? That sounds like a lot. When he car is borrowed to my uncle in 2009, the mileage is probably around 120-130k km. That time, the car is just 10 years old.I heard normal mileage is around 20k km per year so 60k km in 4 years is still below average
Now during my usage since November 2013 (192k km) to now, is around 21k km. Current mileage is 213k km. I guess my car is underused by me. 3 years but only done 21k km.
