MAINTAINING YOUR BMW
All BMW is produced towards superiority in every part. Every component is just as significant from the rest. Just like any type of luxurious car, every BMW forms part of a work of art. That is why each BMW buyer has to be cautious enough to exercise effort to care for the trademark and the design of this car.
On the other hand, a BMW car buyer must be ready to face with a variety of occasions in which his or her car will need some serious repairs and maintenance most particularly when met with an accident or any other motorized trouble. BMW need extraordinary sort of care and management and thus maintenance of the automobile is quite expensive. It’s a familiar thought that the more luxurious your car is the more care it needs. As a responsible BMW car buyer, you must take your auto to a reliable car repair shop and obtain the best car service at a most rational price.

Refinancing car loans
Did you obtain the good deal on your earlier car credit? Do you believe the dealer charge too much to you? If that’s the situation, do not be troubled. You are not by yourself with feeling that way. In reality, most clients sense that way too. There are plenty of methods to get a better deal on that existing car loan. Every day, plenty of auto customers are fooled by dealerships. Getting approved for a loan is easy. However, getting the best loan package is hard.

D-Max – A Durable Partner
The ball first started rolling when Ford brought in the Courier crew-cab pickup. From there onwards, almost all the following 4-door pickup trucks came standard with 4×4 capability. Sure, Toyota had a 4×2 Hilux, so did Ford and recently Nissan’s Frontier Calibre, but all of them only came with automatic transmission. The Mitsubishi Triton Lite is good, but lacked height, limiting itself to ‘proper’ roads. Furthermore, most privately owned pickups never get off the tarmac, which defeats the purpose of having a 4×4 but retains its higher maintenance cost. Read more
ECU – The brains of your car.
These days virtually all new cars manufactured come with electronic fuel injection as compared to carburettors from the old days. Controlling the operation of this technology is the ECU (Engine Control Unit). An ECU can be simply thought as a cars computer, which controls bread and butter operations such as fuel mixture, ignition timing and idle speed.

Hyundai Matrix – Evergreen MPV
The Hyundai Matrix was released in 2001 and has been in Malaysia since 2002. It is a 5 door mini MPV which has and continues to be a strong seller for the Hyundai/Inokom brand in Malaysia. Available here in 1.6 and 1.8 litre variants, the Matrix offers a spacious and well thought out cabin which still remains fresh till today. The Matrix was one of the first cars to feature the centrally mounted instrument cluster here and this concept did take some getting used to by us Malaysians. The Matrix is not a full sized MPV but still manages to ferry around 5 adults in considerable comfort, and provides substantial luggage space too.
BMW X6 M G-Power Typhoon RS
Imagine if your car’s actual name had the word ‘typhoon’ or ‘power’ in it. Imagine if your car has 900hp, propelling you past the 300km/h mark. Imagine if your car is one of the 5 rare breeds of specially developed BMW X6 globally.
What you are seeing here is the G-Power X6 Typhoon RS ultimate V10. Under the bonnet is a 5.5L V10 block, supercharged by two ASA T1-316 compressors. The high-performance MAHLE pistons and the 7-bearing crank shaft are forged. With a new engine data map, peak performance is rated at 900hp / 662kW at 8000rpm while maximum torque is at 870Nm at 6800 rpm, transmitted to the rear wheels via 6-speed auto gearbox.
Without the all-wheel-drive hardware, a few titanium parts for the exhaust system, four individual carbon-fiber seats with some other interior weight reduction, this beast is 150kg off the standard X6. Century dash takes a mere 4.2 seconds, and will march up to 200km/h in 13 seconds. Read more
Checklist for Purchasing Secondhand Cars
Everyone is on the lookout for a good deal, and purchasing used cars is one of the best money-saving deals there is. A new car depreciates like nobody’s business, with its’ value dropping to 60-70% of the original value within the short span of only a few years. Thus, a savvy consumer can really save a bundle by hunting around for the best value-for-money secondhand car available. Nevertheless, buying a secondhand car is always a gamble, as, despite what previous owners or salesmen tell you, there is no guarantee that the car in question is totally accident-free or well-maintained.
Here, we have a short checklist which will help in determining whether or not a secondhand car has been reasonably well taken care of by previous owner(s). The first and key step is checking the car body for any irregularities such as uneven surfaces on the car (definite indicator of prior accidents), mismatched or uneven colours (doors/parts may have been replaced and repainted after accidents), uneven gap width between doors/trunk and body, as well as rust or corrosion on the car itself.
