Question
Susantha 025
Gentlemen,
First, I am new to this forum. I was searching for BMWs and found this forum and interested on your conversations.
I am a Honda enthusiast and sold my Honda Civic ES 8 (YOM 2002) few months back. I wanted to buy a Honda Civic FD 1, couldn’t find a better one.
Anyway I wanted to own a BMW, but the gossips and advices put me aside. Basically, maintenance cost.
Hope you can help me with followings.
I don’t drive daily with my profession and only 3,4 days per month in Colombo and long trip maybe once in 2 to 3 months.
Driving basically with my family – Wife and two small kids
I can afford maximum of 6 millions only.
1. What are the recommended BMW variants I should look in local market, YOM and mileage? (I prefer only sedan type)
2. What are the engine types to choose and avoid?
3. What are the pros and cons of Diesel vs Petrol? Which type do you recommend?
4. What are the demanding colours? (Like, I was searching only White, Black and Wine Red in FD1s)
5. Average fuel consumption of the recommended model and average maintenance cost per month/quarter/year?
6. I heard to avoid European domestic models and go for tropical climate export versions. How do I differentiate those two?
7. Other than online and newspaper advertisements do you recommend anyone who offer some good used BMWs. (E.g. Milroy)
8. Which engine capacity and model is more reliable and economical?
Dear friends, Hope you can help with my little knowledge. I can google for more details with your highlighted areas. Please suggest me the best model considering all factors with my budget.
Thank you very much. Cheers !!!!!!!
