Basic information about my car:
2007 BMW E60 LCI RM40,000.00
Reasons why I bought this car:
I fall in love with its headlight design since the early model of E60 which had been released in 2004. During the release, I was still in middle school. Once I saw the car for the first time, I promised myself that in future I will definitely buy my dream car, this model. After more than 15 years, finally, I managed to secure my dream car.
Car selection process
– I had a budget of: RM50,000.00
– Models that I have considered include: None
Reasons why I chose this car:
I bought the LCI model of E60 due to the headlamp design, rear light design and pilot joystick gear knob. The engine is more refined (N52) compared to its predecessor (M54) with fewer problems than the pre-LCI model. The critical spare parts like the engine and the gearbox are also much cheaper and easier to find.
User experience：
– I have already done: 210km
– My average fuel consumption is 0.125L/km.
The car handling is superb, the comfort of driving the continental car is much different from Japanese and Malaysian cars. I possess several other cars such as Honda Odyssey and Perodua Kelisa, and had driven different brands of cars such as Kia, Chevrolet and Volkswagen. These cars can’t even beat the experience of driving a BMW E60. I also once tried the BMW 330e, but BMW E60 is much better.
Pros of my car:
-Superb handling
-Very comfort to drive
-Sporty look
-Engine sound is good coming from its 6 cylinders engine
-Stable cruise on the highway and can reach 180km/h easily
Cons of my car:
-Quite high in fuel consumption
-More expensive to service since the engine oil needed is around 7 litres, with 6 spark plugs
-A bit lag in pickup due to its 6 cylinders engine
-More than 10 years old car, need to replace undercarriage parts

Summary：
The satisfaction of owning my dream car is what matters most. I don’t care if other people ridicule the car due to its old age, as long as I firmly believe that this car can make me smile and happy every time I’m steering the wheel. It is undeniable fact that this car is quite seasoned, and lots of time and money need to be spent in order to restore its performance and comfort to its original condition. Overall, I am quite appeased and gratified in the possession of this great driving machine.
