in the real world, to be honest, on a car used to go from a-b drums do the job. 99% on the road theres little to no benefit of having disks all round? correct me if im wrong? stoping distances are pretty much same? unless you go up and down genting and rely on the brakes that much.
Drum brake give more working surface to.
More complicated to take out n service too.

honestly? the answer, it depends on what breaks down, and what maintenance have been done. FOR EXAMPLE, air cond compressor is a wear and tear part. it WILL EVENTUALLY fail. Best to speak to the owner and see what parts have been changed. Of course BMW parts are more expensive than local or Japanese, but what I noticed is that most of the times the parts also lasts longer.



I can't wait for the games to begin! FIGHT!
Don't want to fight like kids, I'm old poor uncle that can only afford glorified Myvi. ☺

Yup, if compare, drum brakes better, but drums cannot cool fast enough, then brake fade, so will lose to disc......lol

a lot of brake jam if park too long... like mine... i spare a mallet hammer in my trunk. when it jam i need it to knock, knock a bit and hopefully the spring release.

You've grown old perhaps?


Warriors now all flock to places like FB. These days, forums almost felt like how ICQ is today.
Technology have changed many things and even for some got killed off, like VHS, disc drive and so on.....
