Hi,

I have always wonder, whats the pros and cons for buying from a PI compared with buying from Performance Motors.

And if buying a 2nd hand BMW, any significant things to look out for?

I am still new to this

For new cars, start with this route - what car am I getting? Will I be modding?

If no, stick to PML - it gives a sense of comfort in case things go terribly wrong in the first 3 years. That does not mean that service is utmost.

If yes, look around. What are my savings? Who's this PI? Any history, or fly-by-night shop? Who supports them in the after-sale service? Who covers the warranty? For how long?

At the end of the day, PML is far from perfect - we all know that. PIs are not all rascals too. So there is value/savings to be extracted if do your research properly.

For used cars, it is a bit complicated. Valuation in terms of depreciation comes into play, and marque/model history plays a part. Best is to ask around this forum for advices pertaining to certain models.

is there a "SAFE" PI that i can go to or a USED car dealer to recommend?

You should be asking this - what car am I looking at? What's the saving?

If get from PI, think the saving is around 11~13%..but pls compare the specs (as PI tends not to have iDrive as standard spec)..
