hi canarybird,

thanks for your advice. may i know what series and model your sedan is? what can u say about the perfromance of bmw 318i 98 model? any +/- feedbacks heard from your friends?

im planning to have a used car/sedan to avoid a very high depreciation of cars here. im willing to spend a little for the maintenance cost as long as it's not a major one, so pls help me decide if this 2 brand of cars have the highest performance and the lowest percentage of breakdown when we talk about 2nd hand car/sedans. any advice which series would be the best(model 95-2000). any bad experience as well with these brands, pls share.

thanks,
mathew
