i see.... from the link u posted , it seems E92 will be replace by F32 ... and will be unveil at 2013... so E92 is still worth getting IMO

Normally when BMW announce a new model, what would be the price increase percentage?

Have a few questions on the newly launched 3 Series:

1) When do they expect to start production of the CKD models?
2) What would the price reduction be like?
3) When will the 320i come in?
4) If the 320d is priced at RM269K (without insurance), how much do you anticipate the 320i to cost?

Hi there, I got a question here,
one of my family member had just placed order for the new 3 series, 320d and it's supposed to be CBU, but the sales person told us that the CBU car will be arriving around April or May. Why so long ?

because before that, we went to another BMW dealer and the salesman there said there's only one colour left and we didnt really like that colour so we didnt take it, but the sales person at that dealership said that if we took that one, we will be able to get that car by end of March or early April.

and I've once read at paultan, about this one person with almost same situation but with the 5 series F10

This is what the guy said:
What are your guys opinion ? Do you think this sales person ( the one who said car would arrive around may or april) trying to do the same thing like that ?

I just came back from Quill, my salesman there mentioned they have a silver 320d available. I found out why as well that you felt a bit more comfortable with the new F30 compared to the outgoing E90. The outgoing E90 were stocked with semi-bucket seats (mine is currently using those) as compared to the F30 which uses the normal leather seats hence when you sit on them you feel like you had more room. I just tested it out at Quill earlier.

Width wise I feel the car is the same as my E90, but in terms of passenger space behind, the new F30 definitely provides more leg room.

But CBU built quality is better. Just the downside the spec way too basic. I saw one alpina white f30 320d in kuching 2 days ago. But the colour is not appealing as white e90. But damn the headlight is attractive in its own way just like the audis.

Any idea why modern lines arent brought in? I like modern line for its beige interior and clean design.

I still young so prefer f30 
F30 335 vs 328i actually not much difference i guess. I saw the comparision in youtube videos on the acceleration from 0-150km/h. Only few seconds difference so i think not worth the extra price tag eh. New 6series has serious look too. One fella in bmwclubmalaysia bought it and it is realy gorgeous!

I'm actually quite okay with the CBU f30 320d spec, but one thing i cannot stand are those cheap looking 17" rims 

Really the difference is that huge ? What stuffs from the e90 320d that werent in the f30 320d ? only navigation right ?   
Yeah that's the reason why he wants CBU in the first place, quality is better. In my house there's one CKD e90 320i, always cause problem, one time the rear passenger power window wont go back up...really? power window problem in BMW ? like Proton only   

but i guess he's willing to forgo that for better specs..

not sure about modern line, but since CBU they didnt bring in any modern lines, so i assuming they wont bring any for CKD too.

haha yeah but that's probably gonna happen bro if you get CKD,
but first 3 years or so probably going to be problem free, that e90 in my house is almost 4 years old already, that's why got few problems sometimes...

Just think like this, the extra bucks you pay for CBU is for quality assurance  but have to sacrifice specs la 

BTW 328i    nice, can smoke all those Golf GTI 

Hi guys, i'm considering the preowned 320d e90 & would like to seek confirmation if fuel consumption for city drive is really as claimed, 6.5l/100km? My current 2010  accord is 11l/100km..almost double! Of course, i keep a decent pattern of <3k rpm with 50-50 city/hiway.

took before the car was cleaned.
