For me pantang leh. Not the first time but each time I have decided to change car, my current car will start acting up.


I need to find time to send my current car in for some checks and repairs. It is making a lot of noise lately.

You driving a BMW right?
Hubby's also getting more servicing done this year, he said 5 y.o. cars are like that.
How old is yours?

Yup. Longest one with me. 8yrs now. After 5yrs had to do some wear n tear parts replacements. A/C compressor, suspension.

No one wanted to ride in his car during those few days before he got the a/c repaired, even elder boy opted to go back to camp on his own.

BMW recently released the new models. Which one are you eyeing at?

I was looking to switch to an MPV. Aging parents and me being the only driver among us sisters so an MPV makes sense. Waited with bated breath for the BMW MPV but was very disappointed.


Booked and waiting for the Odyssey. Would have gotten the X3 if not for the need for more space. Was drooling over the Range Rover Velar but no lah. Parents will have problems getting in and out. Still the Jap MPVs more practical.

Funz , A aquantaince fren drives the diesel BMW Mpv, his remarks are positive n energy savings- he chg fr 3 series.

What is it that u dun like? Mine is 5 plus yrs, so far suspension is excellent, hopes this maintain till 10 yrs. in another one yr. my loan will finish , I hope to drive " free" for 3 yrs .

Back row too tight and no a/c. We had the X5 before and the back rows were really uncomfortable. To me the BMW MPV back row is similar to the X5. Moreover, for a similar price point (maybe even lower, cannot rmbr the price) I get more space and comfort. Most prob easier resale too when the time comes.

I am using the Mazda 2 for around 6 years…Need some changing of parts though.I love it to bits anyway.


I don’t really trust my wife with it haha.

Ladies, I just scrapped my 10 year old BMW. It was a big hassle towards the end but overall was a good car. I enjoyed driving it very much.

Would you think you could adapt to driving a non BMW after so many years?
Hubby seems to be affixed on BMW car.

Haha. I know some people have this fixation. Once driven a conti car they don't want to go back to driving Jap cars. Think it is a status symbol thing. DH is also like that.

I've had conti and jap and conti and jap. Owned VW, Audi, BMW, interspersed with Toyota and Honda. I will get whatever make sense for my needs at that moment. If I can afford, I may go a bit flashy just for the fun of it but at the end of the day, the car has to address my needs. So for now, I need more seats or more boot space bcos of the dog, easy access for my parents and comfort for all. And since I am driving the MPV, DH can indulge his everlasting midlife crisis and go for a coupe or convertible :razz:
