Never in league with BMW so never really follow. But my friend years ago bought one second hand 5 series. Beautiful body, accident free, good paint but mechanically had problem month after month. Every time go in workshop RM1k plus and that was really years ago so was a really big amount those days. After 6 months he decided to sell, seems the car more in workshop than being driven.How about used BMW? I see E90 selling quite cheap nowadays.
Some say buy used conti rather than buying brand new Japanese car for similar price. But for me, I'll say buy used Evo or STI at the price of Vios, City or Almera.
Then there was another friend went to buy 2nd hand Camry, decide on one then tried to trade in his 3 year old PUG306. Salesman ask if got other cars, he said got SM4 but almost 10 years old. Salesman say he will take the SM4......lol
