  1. Hi guys, where is the best place to source parts? Would I be able to go directly through the dealer to get parts or would I be better going to a 3rd party or even ship the parts over from the US myself?
  2. Thanks heaps guys, i'll defs try find a nice 6-cyl otherwise go the jap route. If I do end up with a bimmer, how much should I put aside just for the initial replacements of the cooling systems etc? Don't want to purchase one and then not have enough to fix it up.
  3. Hi, I'm looking into buying an E46 post facelift (got my eye on a nice 318i and 325i at the moment) and it will be my first BMW. I've heard plenty of horror stories about the maintenance on BMW cars from friends but against any instinct I have I have kept looking at them since I adore them and have to start somewhere. How much would I be looking at spending after first purchasing the car to replace the basics (water pumps i've heard of) and what sort of servicing would be required afterwards/would I be able to do it myself? Will the 318i be sufficient? I'm not looking for power in any means so the 1.8 sounds good to me. If it seems like too much I will have to look into a jap as i'm only working part time at the moment. Thanks!
