thank you for the feedback on driving. for real of the acceleration? would ECU remap void the 5 year warranty? yeah the 6.5 screen is kinda turn off actually. my SA firm said it's new 2018 model, mileage below 50km not 2017 or lower even the discount is about the same (just below 300k mark). does that means this car really not a favourite? confirm already resale value not so good. and worse part is i made booking without test driving
now i am contemplating between 420i and new X3 already cos price not much different but too many plus on practicality LOL. but i am not ready to become uncle yet. my banker may already be pissed waiting for my decision.
184hp is a big number but you wont feel the "Ooomph" on a 420i Coupe when launch from standstill. But It is still a fun car to drive especially through the corners and curves because of its handling and steering feedback. Only straight line performance wise not too impressive.
ECU remap will void the warranty if you follow BMW guidelines... There are some devices like RaceChip where it is an external plug n play device which somehow ok for the service centres because it is plug & play
6.5inch screen wise, there are many BMW owners who did upgrade to 10 inches screen comes with Android Auto (plug & play). You can do it at car accessory shops outside. You can join the BMW club in FB to know what kinds of modification you can do...
If it is within 50km mileage, then it is not the event car (good to hear that).. below 300k is a good bargain if u ask me.
Maybe next year you can join the BMW driving experience so that you can learn how to handle your 420i Coupe better..
