I'm thinking of an 850Ci. V12 maintenance expensive?
An 325Ci is manageable, I guess.

Hey thanks EJ! :)
Well, finally decided on a super white, 2005 BMW 325 ci. Pics attached. I will get some better quality pics since these were taken on my mobile phone.
Also, seems in some pics the tint is completely reflecting the sun in my images, so it looks as if I have 100% reflective tint, which I do not. I got the 3M clear tint. The tint reflects light though at different angles. Best part, car looks different from different angles :) At night it looks almost clear though :)
What yall think?? Got quite a few comments since I first got it.. :)

yshimy Congrats man, This is really nice car... How come you were going to buy a 318ci and ended up with 325ci ???? heheheehe I like alot how the mirrors are folded :D enjoy the ride 1) drive safe 2) don't drink and drive 3) please don't flash your lights 4) if you saw copper tinted murno in your rearviwmirror .... give a way, or you will be runned over :) j/k enjoy the ride and the attention. which dealer yougot it from? and if you don't mind, how much on dash and cash. fayz mabrook jag, nice, clean looking ride and i'm sure you'll be a lot happier with the bigger engine then the original 318 you were planning. oh and Ysh same goes for you if you see a silver T11 in your rear view, like the song goes "move, get out the way" hehehehe. :) yshimy Fayz, Respect is always granted for OLD people :P hehehe nice to see you back jag Hey guyz, thanks for the comments :) Well it turns out my dads very good friend, a sennior exec in Dubai, really nice old chap who babied the car was getting a 7 series so I got this from him. Under warranty and all and low mileage, about 25,000 KM. Car is practically new and still has the new car smell :) To be honest, I didnt need the extra power since the 318 is amazingly fast when I drove it! Really shocking. And now the 325, well the engine just sings :) Cost me about 120K for this car, a fair deal according to my research and the near showroom condition of the car. jag

The V12 is awsome - i've topped 155 MPH but if i got it chipped it would do near to 190 MPH, and 0 - 60 in 5.8, not bad for a car weighing in at well over 2 ton :shock:
It drinks pertol but hey who care when you hear that engine just purrrr like the cat who's just had the cream.

Does the clear tint keep the heat out? The car I'm going for has an 80% tint at the moment which is the only thing that needs changing on it - if I buy it.. it's currently getting checked out at AGMC.
Mabruk again.
Cheers,

Hey thanks. Well the tint looks fab and heat rejection is about 44%, as compared to 30% tint which rejects about 39%. So not bad considering you get clear visibility.
80% tint??? Does that mean a local drove it?? No offence to anyone, but get that car checked out well!!
Oh and I got an extended warranty for peace of mind. So Im covered for the next 5 years or so. jag

If you got an extended warranty, you really have got it made. By the way, 80% or whatever isn't necessarily local. I had pitch-black-cant-see-at-night tint for nearly a year on my old Merc, and never got pulled over. I removed it before Tasjeel passing. jag

I take this view. Yes V!2 means more plugs and oil but thats about it. On the oher hand i can cruise all day @ 90 mph and its only just doing 1500 revs, the engine isnt even trying at that pace, like a stroll in the park.

Mercs quality is shiat! Not the same that it was. Couple of friends gota 2006 E class and the cars been in the shop 3 times since they bought it - why? Cuz the car turns itself off on the highway!! That and many other problems the new generation Mercs have. Ill have my BMW over the tristar anyday.. besides the fact that BMWs handling beats Merc everytime :)
But to each his own.. enjoy your ride!
Maybe Ill consider a S Class later when in in my mid forties... till then I have my sights on the M3 or M6.. beasts!!:D XRW-147

My dad has got a c-class merc, and its really not all its cracked up to be. And it drives me crazy that fact that the indicators and windscreen wipers are on the same stalk - what's that all about??? And there is no handbrake either. And the seats aren't comfortable, the radio turns itself off randomly, and everytime I try to use the cruise control, I end up putting the speed limiter on, and it seems to be set to some ridiculously low speed too!!

Oh, I agree, but I've never had those sort of problems with BMW's, and I'm guessing you'd perhaps feel the same about Porsche's?? Maybe its just Mercedes who are out of touch with what people want (other than really really old people for whom its their last car before they move onto mobility scooters! arniegang I had a brand new C class a few years ago - it could only be described in one word "shite" After my first new one was replaced by the second new one after the first month , it became three words "really f*cking shite" :lol: :lol: :lol: the_zooter
