manual E36? lucky you. not too sure how manja this car is, but they even say that Alfa Romeo manja, but somehow it does not seem so. i reckon if it's well taken care of, less problem should arise. as for wear and tear parts, well they are wear and tear parts hehe, get em changed. hope someone can clarify this query.

i think, Beemers have the most parts available in the market, among Euros. easier to get in comparison with other Euros. about the price of parts, well let's say all Euros are higher than Japanese or locals. but to me, you get what you pay for when you drive a Euro. satisfying bro hehe.

Hie there bro....spare parts for Bimmer are flooding in the chop shop...u pay for what u get.....BMW is not as manja as opposed to some Italian cars (sorry for the statement, correct me if i am wrong) but a proper maintenance will do.

yep, you are correct about the chop shops on Beemer. but i am not too sure about the manjaness of the Italian cars haha. i own 2 Italians, heck 3 Italians if you add the 124 ST, and all i could say is, they are not as manja as you thought it should be. proper maintenance and daily redlining will ensure happiness in both party, the bella and the owner haha. but if you want a very reliable car, the Benz W124 is almost bullet proof i reckon.

betul tu, pat on your chest and ask your appetite haha. bro, i reckon the E36 is a better choice than the E39 5 Series. i love the E36 and since it comes in manual transmission, damn man, you're pretty lucky la. if you do not want it, hehe then mind telling me how much is it for someone to obtain the manual E36? who knows, i may trade in my 155 for it hehe.

bro, yep all 155 is Twinspark (Percikan Api Berkembar), and mine is 1.8 8V, super easy to maintain, no timing belt, running on timing chain. even the W124 timing chain can be put into the 155. 155 has no Boxer engine. by the way, the 1.8 8V Twinspark engine can play with 318 without a sweat hehe.

of course it can play with the E36, winning or losing later to be determined la haha, but don't bring in the 325 or 330 la haha. habis la itu macam haha. ayayai your manual E36 sold already? daymnnn man, wasted. as for the 155, nowadays is pretty cheap. my model 1.8 Twinspark 8V year 1995, well maintained condish should set you at RM16 to RM17k, and of course you can get it cheaper but you may have to spend money after that. but if you want real power, you can get the 2ltr 16V, but parts are a bit more expensive than the 8V model. but if you really want more raw power hehe, get the 2.5 V6 12V engine haha. now this V6 is pretty rare, only a few in Malaysia. and my buddy has 1 for sale, along with BBS wheels.

used to have 17incher Alessio Spider on my 155, but had changed to 15 inch wheels due to the roads in Melaka. KL is not so bad, but since i had to go back to Melaka pretty frequently, well i had no choice but to change to 15s. but i do have 16 inch FIAT Coupe rims with my friend, waiting for me to pick it up haha. anyway, i had changed the manifold to custom 4-2-1 mild steel, and straight flow all the way to the Ragazzon oval single DTM backbox. sound is wicked hehe, only thing is, my center box is already worn out. front discs are by BREMBO Max, with Mintex pads and SPARCO stainless steel braided hoses. air filter changed to Green open pod filter with stainless steel Green adaptor. InTrax lowered springs, gear knob and handbrake cover by MOMO. ALPINE co-axial front speakers, Caliber 1000W Amplifier, Infiniti Beta 10inch subwoofers, JL Audio Component Speakers, SONY head unit MP3, SONY Rotary Commander. and guess what la? my 155 comes with sunroof, and that is super rare in Malaysia hehe. it's a daily driven car, which means, i drive it daily since it's addictive. the only thing needs to be done now is, change the absorbers haha and front bumper. check the pictures out sir.
