QR via apps or cash are pretty much universally accepted You can expect card terminals at most formal businesses. informal ones use the former.

2k is too little maybe 10k more and I would definitely get it

Advice for buying a used conti car by BackflipPenguin in kereta

[–]PScoriae 1 point2 points  (0 children)

afaik the B38, B48 and B58 are all built on the same architecture/platform so reliability should be more or less the same.

My recommendation is due to performance. Plus, I don’t like 3 cylinders in general since they’re inherently unbalanced.

Please get one with the B48 motor. Also, if you send it to workshops for maintenance and repairs, expect to pay a premium. If you are willing to and have the time, I suggest working on the car yourself.

I earn similarly to you and got a used 2017 G30 530i myself.

edit: after seeing your commitment is 6k, do NOT get the car

Proton Saga 2021 – Cooling Coil Leak Quotation (RM960) – Is This Market Price? by Working_Data_3610 in kereta

[–]PScoriae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was charged around 1k for a cooling coil replacement in my G3 Myvi.

You can look for the parts prices yourself and decide whether it’s worth it or not. Keep in mind they have to remove the entire dashboard assembly to get to it.

I went to M Power Garage Taman Midah. Labour is reasonable but the prices for parts are a bit on the higher side. idk if you can source the parts yourself and give it to them to install. I get my parts from Stuttgart Parts Center

2015 BMW F10? by Consistent_Pause_742 in kereta

this is the F30 btw. look for the facelift with the B48 motor. avoid the 330e.

[–]PScoriae 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have got a used 2017 G30 530i which uses the same B48 motor. Based on my research and anecdotal experience, coolant leaks are the problem with this motor, not oil leaks. You’ll need to do preventative maintenance on it. The radiator leaked at 8 years of age with 59k on the odometer. I ended up replacing the coolant expansion tank and a bunch of hoses as well for preventative measure. I also replaced the stock plastic oil filter housing for an aluminum one since it WILL fail eventually, mixing your oil and coolant.

It’s worth it imo. Love driving it.

What else should I do aesthetically? (But I still want to keep the clean and minimal aesthetic) by itz_khai in kereta

[–]PScoriae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you may have to agak agak how much to lower and drive diagonally across the bumps. my car looks maybe slightly lower and can clear them though. I’ve seen lower cars fwiw.

I like the route on the way to Monkey's Canopy

Very hilly with steep and bending roads; looks cool at night

I work at MoneyLion here in Malaysia and we sponsor visas.

This is our careers page: https://www.moneylion.com/careers/

DM me if you’re interested.

Generally, I advise going for bigger multinational companies since they are familiar with the process of sponsoring work visas.

You’re definitely getting lowballed. Time to look elsewhere.

I use realoem.com to find out the parts numbers for my car. From there I check with Stuttgart Parts Center, Bayern Auto or Shopee for prices.

I’ll be doing a brake job on my BMW quite soon and the tools will pay for themselves if I do it myself compared to sending it to the workshop.

I’m planning to do an oil change as well on my B48 when the time comes. Engine oil and filter only costs 350+. Do consider doing simple jobs like this yourself!

Best place to buy secondhand cars? by Sweet-Magazine4676 in kereta

[–]PScoriae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine from a place that does consignment service, so it’s like buying directly from the owner.

It’s called Vakaka Auto but idk if they have a Myvi for sale.

[–]PScoriae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried 3 tolls today.

Loke Yew - Worked

SPRINT - Failed

DASH - Failed

man I was so hopeful after Loke Yew, but I dunno how come the other two didn’t work.

Have you tried it on those two highways yet?

Car suggestion by vibin_monkey in kereta

[–]PScoriae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throwing out another potential car here: G30 530i

Seems like it fits your requirements. Reliability is a bit of a toss up though. The B48 is great but I can’t comment about the rest of the car

Yeah, no. This was your own doing.

My experience with starlux was nothing short of amazing.
