There are some reasons as to why you would want a BMW and as you can see from the third part of this article, fuel economy is definitely not one of them. Instead, if you want a BMW, the reason behind that is a pure driving pleasure as most of these cars listed here have more horsepower than the average car found here in the Philippines.

Some of these vehicles listed on Philkotse.com can be priced cheap. That also hides the fact that maintenance costs for BMWs are higher than the average Japanese vehicle. Thankfully, there are a number of dealerships spread throughout the Philippines and they can address any sort of mechanical problem you bimmer might encounter. Just don’t try to fix major engine problems yourself especially if you have a newer model as these are terribly complicated machines.

Another reason to buy a BMW vehicle is that some models actually hold their value for a long time. Take for example the X series cross overs and SUVs and the M series performance vehicles. Most of these, despite their age, will stay above the 500,000 peso mark.
