Chinese are going to take over the automobile industry for sure. Tesla who was considered ground braking is shying away from the promised small EV and moving to Taxi cars as the competition is too strong. Then comes Chery with this small EV SUV. Looks like a Mini G Class / Jimny but is fully electric.· 2 replies

Interior Specialists? Every time I go over some bumps my seats squeak quite loudly and there is a massive rattle of a nail undone coming from inside the dashboard, anybody got any suggestions I could go to? My usual mechanic just said "turn the radio up"· 2 replies

I was watching a Yangwang U8 struggling to make it up a muddy hill on Youtube. I was wondering why cant an EV be more capable off road than an ICE vehicle. Given the fact that this behemoth has 4 individual motor on each wheel it should be able to direct power to the wheel that has more grip and stop power to the slipping wheel. Cant be rocket science right?· 3 replies

I woke up one day and I now want to buy a W140. The brain works in mysterious ways. It definitely doesn't understand the concept of money since I am nowhere near affording one.· 2 replies

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 !!!!!!!
