given choice pls skip this f30 entirely. not good at all

Why say so?

no complain for cabin space & safety. quite standard for euro drives.

plenty bugs on software, include air cond, seat belt warning, gearbox logic.
steering lag behind action, steering angle limit worse than majority rwd cars.
suspension bottom out easily, weak brake to zero full stop.

Comment till Gearbox Logic...Where is the sos?

in my house parking. u want to see? thats the chili source. haha

LOL

The upcoming BMW G20 3 Series has a lot of tough competition to go up against when it comes out next year, but according to our sources, it is ready to take on that challenge with a series of innovative features for the segment and a more daring daring compared to the current generation 3er.

BMW is also listening to its critics and fans alike and will be looking to give its upcoming models a more different look between different classes and segments. Adrian van Hooydonk, BMW Group Chief of Design, said it is time to differentiate the cars launched in the future by even more, to give each its own character.

“Each new car going forward now, we believe has to have fresh character of its own. The new 3 [Series] will be part of this new form language, but also will have a couple of characteristics that are unique to that car.”

Our own sources also say that the 3 Series will have its own identify within the BMW lineup, and it will not be a smaller 5 Series.

Likely the the biggest news with the G20 3 Series will probably be the new instrument cluster that will debut on the 8 Series next summer. Furthermore, ambient lighting with a choice of 16 different light combinations will be included, for that serene and classy atmosphere inside the cabin at night.

To boot, the headlights will be fitted with adaptive LED lights as standard while LaserLight technology will be optional choice for those who prefer to see more on the road at night. With adaptive beams, the LaserLight headlights will light up the road ahead up to 600 meters, this kind of technology being reserved solely for the 7 Series range up until not long ago.

Just like the new G30 5 Series, the new 3 Series is built upon the CLAR architecture. Thanks to CFRP components and a higher proportion of aluminum, the platform allows the new 3 Series to weigh around 40 kg less than the outgoing model, resulting in a sportier drive and lower fuel consumption.

Yet despite those comments by BMW executives, rendering artists are going with a conservative approach when it comes to G20 illustrations. Take for example these two images from Autobild that portray the new G20 3 Series as an evolutionary model over the current F30 generation.

BMW will unveil the new 3 Series late next year, followed by a market introduction in 2019.

sc admit the bugs but take time to settle many flooded car before mine

btw i puncture twice. sc patch it for free.
so run flat dont need pay that

dad went sc to patch tyre. counter ask for rm19.xx
so we must mention run flat blah x3 in order to waive it

windscreen is crack. good job

Never had an issue with my F series car.

If there are a lot of bugs it might be worth checking the coding and the FSC logs in the car.

Hi guys, does bmw throw alot discount when a model going to be discontinued?
New fwd 1 series will be launched soon hehe

brake fade. not sure pad or fluid but pedal stiff
gotta visit friend shop for obd scanner

Brake fade doesn't result in stiffness especially with standard street pads. Are you it isn't the way the car was meant to be? I used to drive a Volkswagen GTI, the damned brakes were stiff and other on or off with high initial bite, hard to modulate.

On my M4 it's a very gradual soft push with room for modulation with low initial bite. On my Evo X it was high initial bite with strong firmness but room for modulation.

OBD scanners won't pick up FSM/FSC special codes, only ISTA/INPA with ESYS will drag weird diagnostic data out.

Anybody thinks the new 7 series is quite ugly? the back part big double exhaust outlet is so big and ugly.... no finesse at all...totally not BMW's style

I prefer my previous gti (mk6) brake pad compare to my 120i m sport and m235i.
I feel beemer brake is too soft, eventhough it works great when in need.
