Message: <blockquote data-quote="AE111_SEG" data-source="post: 3039543" data-attributes="member: 13528">Hi BMW 320i is no comparison for Altezza..... period...... The only thing BMW is good for is the badge which has status & prestige. But if you are not that particular then Altezza is fine.Since you are coming back in 2 years time then better bring back 2005model. New as possible if your budget permit. Else 99,00,01 model also can lah. In terms of :1) Fuel consumption => 5AT 450km to 500KM. Depending how well the car is maintained. Also How you drive.General a mix driving 50% City and 50% highway with ocasional 7,000rpm should give you the above range. 2) Market price => 98 model = 75K - 78K99 model = 80K -85K00 model = 90K -95K01 model = 100K -105K02 model = 110 -115K03 model = So far none for sale.04 model = So far none for sale.05 model = So far none for sale. The price will vary according to MT or AT and general condition.3) Spare parts => Vision + Wing Hin + ST Auto + Trial Tunning Sdn Bhd.Common replacement parts are readily available.Not so common need to order and the above ppl will place an order for you if you need.Part price are reasonable but not as expensive asBMW. Generally very reliable car if you do the standard maintenance.i.e change oil regularly.No need to reset OBD after service like BMW and also no need to worry about module problemwhich plaque BMW now days.Generally the only common thing that may need replacing is the O2 sensor before the cat converter.Before shipping to Mal have it changed in Japan. Other than that this car is easy to maintaincompared to BMW. BMW have parts readily availablebut the frequency of part replacement and costis high. So if reliability and durability is your priortythen Altezza is for you. If you are adventurousthen Japan Yahoo Auction and Bidtrade can bring instd and aftermarket parts for you. Some memberhere are addicted to this . ha ha ha u know who uare.4) Workshops => Trial Tunning Sdn Bhd + Vision Bangsar + Dori Dori monsterezza's place I think. And there are few othercant remember the name. Generally all workshopcan handle standard maintenace. Just like a regular Toyota . No need specialist care.Only things like Timing Belt change, Diagnostic check you will need to go to the specialist named above. 5) Clubs to be joined => There are quite a few Altezza in Malaysia and and not a common as a 320i. That is the best part of owning an Altezza. We dont have anofficial club yet. We are working on it.There are few members here brought their car back from Japan. Anyway here some tip and link on checking the year of manufacture <a href="http://www.japan-partner.com/check-manufacture-year.php" target="_blank">Check Manufacture Year - Japan Partner</a>Also the chassis plate can reveal alot info about the car. i.eL edition or Z EditionLSD or No LSDFGR = 3.9 or 4.1 or 4.3. (Final Gear Ratio)6 MT Manual or 5 AT AutoFinal word : Pls read through the whole forum here if you want to know more about owning Altezza in Malaysia.</blockquote>
