need to step brake to engage. see youtube for actual function
bmw as well

BMW has 5 years maintenance included. But after this expires as it is more expensive to maintain than a  Merc. The CKD BMWs are noted for poor built quality giving problems associated more with Protons than a luxury car. I would go for the W205 as a better built car.

myself did that, 2008 toyota car. just went to free gear with reverse sensor beep beep beep.

60kph toward red traffic light. was push over the position, not purposely.

so the reverse sensor beep beep beep i dunno what sound is that, until i realise wrong gear aiya...
f30 will reach my house tonite. got offer so dad dont mind the ckd quality
garbage is exaggerate, very mean.
under expection  is what he try to ask.

Actually all cars have issues even the most expensive ones in the world nothing is perfect and I think the first thing we should do is decide what we prefer rather than asking others. After that, ask about the reliability, common issues and if it's nothing really worrying, go buy the car.

this kind of situation. i see my mood will react differently.
anyway i prefer w205 for styling and handling.
f30 has attractive price (eev discount 2 time this year) to overcome

BMW is now like VW, they throw prices like mad so when new car price doesn't have control, it affects the used ones as well however, 2016 car at RM 150k sounds quite impossible. A 2015 316i; maybe?

having same issue...f30 vs w205..end up waiting for money to grow on the tree..
handling-f30 have a sporty handling and road grip but i cant feel any road respond on w205 but its comfort level is superb
build quality-w205 as f30 really disappoint me...even for a test drive car have a kiok2 sound..bad sound proofing and wind noise is not acceptable

the rest..malas to type

both are good cars but different feel. F30 interior is ridiculously plain jane boring for such a car. Then again, it is a BMW and they've been doing that for who knows how long. W205 interior is impressive in its price range. Regarding CKD quality, people complain all the time. Even if you watch reviews overseas, their CBU cars sometimes have rattling noises and other issues as well. Regarding which company builds the best CKD cars, I reckon it is Volvo and Mercedes. BMW has had their quality problems for a long time not only for CKD cars. Perhaps wait for new Audi A4 B9?
