The design of this car for 4-door version as many circulating in Indonesia was designed by Claus Luthe. BMW E30 is becoming popular in Indonesia since his appearance in the film Catatan Si Boy at the end of the 1980s. 


Is similar to his bigger size like the BMW E28 was still showing the aura of luxury even though the size is smaller. BMW E30 might be BMW 3 series which first appeared to Indonesia because the series 3 was previously only available as a 2-door coupe very expensive taxes when entry into Indonesia at that time. The initial design of BMW E30 is only available as a 2-door coupe like the BMW E21 but around 1983 4-door sedan version that appeared in Germany.

First, this car has the shape of the front bumper US style with a model or larger with a lot of chrome on the top of the bumper. In the back of the bumper that is used one model still with its front bumper. For the headlights still, rely on ordinary reflector while the lights behind it appear plain unadorned form of a slope-the slope. In Europe in 1986 appearing facelift with model changes into a bumper one piece even though it looks almost the same as the previous version.

Fuel supply machine It has already used the Bosch L-Jetronic injection. Engine with M10 base code engine F1 Benneton team used terkencang, Brabham, and Arrows on the 80s namely BMW M12. M12 machine into the machine the F1 turbo era of the 80s  by producing power until turbo pressure with 1450hp up to 5.5 bar. It was said the material used on the engine block engine BMW M12 is the same as the BMW M10 engine block that is also marketed in Indonesia. Simultaneously with the version facelift, in 1987 the BMW M10 engine replacing the M40B18. Although the machine is almost the same as M40 engine M10, there is a difference on the BMW M40 engine where there is already an engine management Bosch Motronic injection and a much more sophisticated. The machine is able to produce this M40 of 113Hp at 5500 rpm and of torque at 4250 RPM 163Nm.

This car features a full clear of his time because of competing against classmates Toyota Corona sedan or Honda Accord.

This car was created with the concept of the ultimate driving machine which means a great machine to drive. This is because the concept seemed very delicious this car to drive. One reason why this car is driven is a delicious dashboard that really leads to the driver and the driver seemed to be able to control everything from the driver's seat. The 1800cc engine is also quite powerful and can still pursue other cars 2000cc-engined.

BMW E36 318i 320i 323i

BMW E36 ori

BMW 3 series E36 body code is a compact executive car coming into Indonesia from 1992 until 1999. This car was designed starting in July 1981 and was completed in 1988. In some countries, the body of this car was nicknamed  "dolphin shape ". BMW E36 itself was designed by Darrin boyer (1987) and Jouji Nagashima (1988). In fact, there are several variants of the BMW E36 was available as a Hatchback, Station Wagon (Estate), until the Coupe. But coming into Indonesia mostly only 4-door sedan.


BMW E36 coming into Indonesia is available in several options of the machine. For BMW 318i E36 4-cylinder engine wear M40 the exact BMW 318i E30 BMW as the popular mas Boy. In 1995 BMW 318i E36 appears with the M43. 

This engine is still the same with the M40, 1800cc injection. The M43 engine only has the distinction of the form of the use of a timing chain. Version medium there is a BMW 320i E36 6-cylinder 2000cc engine code M50B20. Entering the year 1994 BMW 320i E36, appeared with the machine that also still M52B20 2000cc 6-cylinder injection. For BMW E36 323i 6 cylinder 2300cc engine wear by M52B25 code.

Specific to the market of Indonesia there is a BMW 323i E36 Limited Edition which is a marketing gimmick of BMW Indonesia. Different versions of the Limited Edition with the standard version there is only on features. This version, there are two versions of IE on different version 1 full bumper technic-m3 model, wood panels, sein white, leather seats, carpets and plastic seat base that follows the colour of leather seats, armrest, cup holder front, his side door similar to the BMW M3 is more width and limited edition emblem. Are for version 2 there is on leather seats, carpets and plastic base which does not follow the wananga upholstery color leather seats, sein white, and sometimes there's a wood panel. This Limited Edition version is actually just a standard car plus original accessories/options BMW. 

If you like this car, make sure the proposal carefully since European cars between part interconnected with each other so that if any part is damaged or replaced that just doesn't fit with the original then it will spread to other parts. Sometimes simply because different tire sizes and brands can make weak feet. If it is desired E36 BMW, take it to a specialist workshop for BMW to check total. Check total aims to find out about what needs to be addressed. Keep in mind part BMW indeed sometimes feels expensive car than Japan. However, if compared with the original car parts Japan that classmates like Accord or Corona price part BMW relatively the same actually. When it's all sorted out, surely this will drive a car so much fun keeping with BMW's tagline "The ultimate driving machine ".

BMW E36 excess handling ya this is frisky. For the BMW 318i E36 FUEL consumption, major cities frequently bogged down still more efficient than the BMW 320i 323i or. Conversely, the more empty streets of BMW 320i and 323i the larger-engined even more efficient than the BMW E36 318i weighting because of the weight of its own will be optimal if sustained engine 6 cylinders. Of course, it's obvious comfort even for a day.

The weakness of this car because it's already eaten the age, usually hard to find that the Interior is still neat. Some sometimes even many missing parts. This car's cabin feels narrow one due to a bulge in the back of the line because this car is still subsistence system FR (front engine rear wheel motion). 

BMW 518i 520i E34 530i

BMW 5 series E34

Between the years 1988 to 1996, BMW issued an Executive car to replace the BMW E28 BMW E34 series. The car also called the BMW 5 series is called call the BMW 7 series is narrowed further because it was said the same convenience. Present in Indonesia from 1988 until 1996. The car was designed by Claus Luthe, Ercole Spada, and J Mays.


This car has a choice of engines ranging from a 4 cylinder, 6 cylinders to 8-cylinder V8 configuration. For BMW 518i M40B18 engine wear 4-cylinder 1800cc capacity similar to that worn by the BMW 318i. SOHC engine with injection Bosch Motronic is able to generate power of 5500 rpm and torque at 113Hp 160Nm at 4250 rpm the BMW 518i. 

This is somewhat rare and more wasteful of fuel compared to the BMW 5 series and other greater engine wear. This is because the weight of the empty car is 300Kg which is about heavier compared to the BMW 3 series that also wears the machine the M40. BMW 518i M40 engine with this present until 1994 and later was replaced by the BMW M43 engine capacity of 1800cc but also the more modern.

6-cylinder version of the BMW 520i initially engine wear M20B20 1991cc. capacity this machine wear inline configuration 6 SOHC 12 valve and Bosch Motronic injection system is able to generate power off at 6000 rpm and torque 127Hp 164Nm on 4300Rpm. In 1990, the BMW M20 engine replaces with engine capacity M50B20 1991cc. Energy generated this new machine could achieve 150Hp at 6000 rpm and torque 190Nm at 4700Rpm. for maintenance, engine M50 said this is cheaper compared to machine M20. In addition to BMW 520i 525i BMW, wearing straight 6 engine SOHC 12 valve capacity 2494cc. Specifically for BMW 525i was entered in CBU. The engine was coded M50B25. M50 engine it comes in 2 variants, i.e. with or without single VANOS CAMSHAFT VANOS CAMSHAFT. At first, M50 engine is not yet wearing the VANOS CAMSHAFT but circa 1993 BMW M50 engine VANOS CAMSHAFT install. VANOS CAMSHAFT is itself a variable valve technology from BMW in order to make use of the FUEL can be optimized without sacrificing power.

In addition to the 4 and 6 cylinder engine I4 E34, BMW is also available V8-engined variant 3000cc capacity 3000cc Variant. it wore the M60B30 BMW V8 engine similar to that used BMW 730i. This machine has a DOHC 32 Valve V8 configuration with the engine capacity 2997cc and compression ratio 10.5:1. With this kind of configuration, the car was able to generate power of 215Hp at 5800Rpm and torque 290Nm at 4500Rpm. With the dimensions of a compact and E34 V8 engine makes this car became a favorite car for BMW enthusiast.

BMW E34 overall surplus is distributed does it weigh averaging 50:50. With the size of the body that is not too big to make this car very controlled through at high speed. The dimensions are also fitting because it still leaves room for the passengers but not too difficult to get through the narrow streets. Overall the BMW engine and the manual transmission is tough but for the Steering column and steering average is already worn out and make ... BMW E34 spelling becomes weaknesses in General.

BMW E28 520i and 520iS

BMW E28 520i

BMW E28 was the second generation of the BMW 5 series which is a development of the BMW New Class. Si Germany first produced in 1981 and the M5 in 1985. This car was first introduced in Indonesia in 1982 and production stopped in 1988 and was replaced by the BMW E34. In Indonesia, this car is already logged in CKD and then assembled by the force of the Motor Car factory which is now a Daihatsu in Indonesia.


Inform, the BMW E28 was still embraced the design of the BMW E3 style first appeared in 1968 with 4 pieces of round headlights and kidney grill whose size is still small typical BMW times first. Although it looks no difference since the 70s, I think this is the nicest BMW design at once durable characteristic that continues to create the new BMW car output up. The car itself was designed by Claus Luthe who was a notable designer Germany in 1977. Claus Luthe is also often designed cars Germany such as NSU, Volkswagen, BMW, Audi car to Italy, Fiat made it become one of the important figures in the European automotive design.

In Indonesia the BMW E28 for sale in 2 variants. The first variant of the E28 BMW 520i is where letters rear 520 figures I show the use of the fuel injection system. A special feature of the exterior 520i it is typical American Style large bumper. Perhaps because it is less like a super big bumper, BMW 520iS appeared in 1987. The letter is behind this figure means injection Sport. Sport here does not mean the use of special machines such as the M5 or an extra turbo or similar. The word Sport used to differentiate with 520i where 520iS has a form similar to the European version using smaller bumpers.

BMW E28 used to machine this is M20B20  "Small Six " 6 Cylinder SOHC 12 valve capacity of 2000cc. for the management of the engine and the fuel suppliers to use fuel injection room of Bosch Motronic ME-. The engine was still used until the generation E34 circulating until 1996 until the year 1991 E30 and with some adjustments. The maximum power that can be generated by this machine is at 6000 rpm and torque 127Hp 164Nm on 4300Rpm. Large enough for a machine that has an 8.8:1 compression ratio and no catalytic converter. To transmit power to the rear wheels, used 5 manual transmission or automatic acceleration 4 acceleration.

Compared to the original car classmates the Japan, European cars are already highly sophisticated features and complete that even recently applied to the original car Japan 10 years later. From the manufacturer, BMW E28 was already equipped with the power window and power steering. For the convenience of passengers, on the interior part of the already existing AIR CONDITIONING and leather seats. For handling fixed considering the aspects of convenience used MacPherson strut independent suspension. Yet despite the braking section ABS or such, but already wearing disc brakes in the rear.

As  "The Ultimate Driving Machine " E28, BMW is certainly very fun to drive. With center console facing the driver and a very comfortable driving position makes it very comfortable to use. Because the BMW 5 series is an executive car, the comfort for passengers are not forgotten. The advantages of this is that continues to cling to every car BMW until the latest series though. The 2000cc engine of his was rather extravagant to bring a car weighing 1370Kg, however for the generated power is certainly comparable with what burned. The general weakness of the BMW is rust in the cooling system and space under feels less especially when stuck. Now the car is rarely seen or used car stock exchange this price is inclusive of the dark. For common conditions tend to be horrible could only a dozen million equivalent motor magic container. But low prices might be an alternative if you want to build older BMW but has been hampered because the price of the E30 started up since the advent of television returns Catatan Si Boy.

BMW E12 520

BMW E12 is the executive sedan which was first introduced in 1971 and its production was halted in 1981 in West Germany. This car was a development of the BMW Neue Klasse Sedans (New Class Sedan), the forerunner of the BMW 5 series first. Around the world, all the BMW E12 is only available as a 4-door sedan with a manual transmission with a choice of 4-cylinder M10 engine and the 6-cylinder M20. Specific to the market of the United States and Japan available automatic transmission option 3 acceleration. 


The car was designed by Paul Bracq who also designed a range of Citroën, Peugeot, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz. The original design of the BMW E12 took the design of the BMW Garmisch 2200ti concept car which was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show of the year 1970. BMW 2200ti Garmisch was designed by Gruppo Bertone nationals Italy. In 1976, the BMW E12 facelift suffered in the form of the wider backlight, hood, to the position of the enhanced air ventilation. This facelift designs created by Claus Luthe who later became head of the design Department of BMW until the 1990s.

In 1975 the BMW E12 BMW Assembly planning model 520 and 525 in Malaysia and Indonesia produced starting mid-1976. But due to various things, only BMW 520 who assembled in Indonesia. Arguably, the BMW 520 was entered in CKD (Completely Knocked down) to Indonesia because at that time there was a regulation a ban on import of vehicles in CBU (Completely Built unit) in Indonesia. This car CKD kits imported from Munich, Germany (West) and use some of the components locally Indonesia such as tires, battery, and paint. BMW 520 assemble Motor style until the year 1971 with a total production of about 780 units.

On the concept of the BMW E12 initially, this will only wear 4-cylinder M10 engine as used by the BMW New Class Sedan. However, due to the wishes of the market, there is also a selection of six-cylinder M20. Because of the vehicle tax system in Indonesia less favor to engine capacity above 2000cc, Indonesia only guaranteed 4-cylinder M10. BMW 520 used to machine this is the BMW M10 4 cylinder SOHC 8 valve capacity of 2000cc. for the supply of fuel into the fuel Chamber, used a carburetor. The engine power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a manual transmission 4 acceleration. The M10 engine was also used until the year 1988 even though its capacity was reduced to 1800cc and mounted on a BMW E30 318 or commonly known as BMW Mas Boy because the property was used for the film Catatan si Boy.

The price of the new BMW 5 series when it was around 17 million dollars. At that time, the price of the car is more expensive than the Volvo 264 GL but much cheaper than the Mercedes W123 or better known as Mercy Tiger who became heavy competitor BMW 5 series. In General, there is no difference between the BMW 520 sold in Germany with the assembled in Indonesia. Electronic features like a power window electric mirror and indeed does not exist on the sedan weighing 1310Kg. For safety, already available brake discs on this car.

BMW E12 this population now is getting scarce and rare. This is because the total production in Indonesia who have very little. Not to mention the reduced hundreds of units that already end in unwalled cities. In contrast to the Mercy of the Tiger population and that more could still be found dijalanan. This may also be because few people know will this car. But talk of treatment, this car is still fairly easy regarding the engine still used until the era of BMW E30 and still use Carburetors with minimal electronic features that sometimes even cause various problems of old broken. BMW E12 520
