Try to avoid BMW above 5 years old, i learnt my lesson, my E60 repairs alone cost me more than RM35k stretch of 4 years ownership (Not including routine servicing.) I thought i got a lemon but did some survey among friends who owned E60 preLCI or LCI gave pretty much the same problems.

Could you list down the items that costed Rm35k? Curious to know.

Hello all, if i were to compare E90 325i with F30 328i, which is better if it's more of an overall car?

Was a fan of E90 but F30 is equally tempting with it's turbo.

Got my brand new, zero mileage F10 2 weeks ago. Sadly, a number of issues have cropped up:

1) Rear passenger door 'opened' slightly on its own while I was driving at 90kmph. All doors were closed properly prior to that.
2) Car jerked at traffic light stop and engine died on me
3) RPM digital display meter stopped working but was ok after restart
4) While in comfort mode, gear shifts from 1-4 jerky / not smooth
5) Need to stomp on the brakes to get desired stopping power
6) Front suspension has a 'hollow' sound when going over harder bumps.
7) A lot of brake dust on front rims
8) Driver side wiper blade is noisy / squeaky

BMW took in my car yesterday for a complete check. Got a 3 Series as a replacement. Surely not a good start to my BMW ownership.  mad.gif

Wow, that's quite a lot of issues for a brand new car, what did BMW say about it so far?

Hi, how is E90 325i last batch (2011/2012) reliability/maintenance if compared with F30 328i? I know there are many plus points on the F30 but the price of E90 now is about Rm70k+ only.

Noticed that there are many premium selection branches, which are the top few? Auto selection seems like the biggest to me.

Hi, if we fit a 360 camera on a BMW G30 that does not have it, will it void the warranty?

Alternatively does BMW dealer fix for us if we ask?

I'm just concerned on the warranty

Personally have checked with the authorized dealer and there is no concrete answer however they are obliged to report on any modification done including plug and play during warranty claim. Whether the claim will be rejected or not is not up to them as all the claims goes direct to HQ.

Also for the plug and play items that are not from their inventory, they by far have not agreed to do the installation.

Yes, this is my exact worry especially if the warranty claim items are pricey. I better just find one with the 360 cam then. Thanks.

Mine is G01 LCI 30i also doesn't have 360 and TPMS  bangwall.gif . Apparently only the phev have those features over here but both europe and us market have those features even on their 30i duh. Apparently our malaysian version decided to cheap out those features  shakehead.gif . Prolly will get them installed once the warranty is over if i still keep the car lol.

Yup, our market is really cheapskate. G30 had it but then they removed it during the chips shortage but never compensated the buyers. In foreign countries they did give them some rebate.
