Next weekend I'm going to feature a pretty rare BMW on racenotrice.com. It's a Hartge 3L 5-series DIESEL BMW. In its stock form it has 600nm of torque, some 300bhp of horsepower. After suspension bushes all changed (all in RM4k.. compared to say Waja which is RM3.3k so technically not really expensive) and injectors changed (all in about RM6k), the car has been pretty reliable for the owner and eats a lot of cars for breakfast lunch and dinner. Remapped it'll have 800nm on tap.

Diesel clack in the front, twin exhaust roar at the back. And RM90 for over 700km city driving.

This is one BMW I would not mind owning. Even willing to pay that road tax.

If it were me, I'd go make friends with that fella first, talk about the car and see if it's just a nuisance to him or a precious toy. If nuisance offer 8k to take it off his hands. If precious toy 15k and negotiate.
I tried talking to the owner, he refused to sell it lol..

I guess I will have to wait next time haha..

Looking at eg 2doors now... Viewing car next week

...but the BMW drivers actually wanted chicks to dig them.
Depends on the model you drive bro. If you drive a E30 or E36, chicks won't bother cause the outlook is too classic. E46 has an undying body style, IMO, it aged so well that time just stops around it !

Yeah, E36 is boxy. It's like "like it or hate it" thingy for some ppl.
E30 doesnt have the presence in terms of size. Maybe chicks see it "mini", and they tend to see it as "inferior". Can't blame them really.

E46 is sexy (has all the curves where needed) and still looks cool, even today. the only issue I see is that the interior room is quite smallish. I think Myvi interior is more spacious than E46's. Correct me if I am wrong.

Typical chicks would not really able to differentiate car model which is very common. I don't expect typical can spell out the series of the car anyway. Once i knew a chick thought my Lancer is a Volvo. LOL !! :thefinger:

Actually any car smaller than my Lancer i will feel that the interior is smallish. I weight 86kg now and has a wide frame. The e46 interior also feels cramp for myself but i just love all the leather interior. Not even e90 325i came close to this !

BMW interior quality is to notch....and solid. Not like those toy-plastic dash and panels we tend to see in new cars today.

car prices go up......while interior qualities go down.

Heck, if one compares the interior of a 1990s Nissan, with present day Nissan interior.....you could see the 1990s interior has better material.

I strongly agree with this.... This applies for most companies unfortunately... They don't seem to build cars like hwy used to... Blame cost cutting and environmentalists?:biggrin:

Nowadays, interiors of cars up to mid range/C-segments are all crappy cheap plastics only! You need to go up to already expensive Japanese d-segments to get nicer leather like materials for dash & door panels. Back in the 90s even a normal Lancer already got leather like materials and very durable some more!
