I guess you have to complain. What they do is to replace with another one with paint. I think BMW offered 4 years warranty for those produced in 2015, you still have time to claim. For 2012 CKD, the warranty was 2 years and the free maintenance was 3 years. For the free maintenance, I managed to claim only one set of disc rotol and air con filter. My car was in the workshop for more than 8 weeks in 2013 alone. As a result, it was under-utilized. Nevertheless, F30 is fun to drive. Not the problem of the design (except the air intake duct issue).
What the...? More than 8 weeks in the shop in a year?? Did they give you a replacement car for that duration?

Ya, they did loan me a courtesy car for that duration. It was a X1. Nevertheless, several problems were resolved. Better than in and out. For the initial batches, I heard several cars were lemon like mine. So, to buy a second hand, best to check with service centre if it was consistently sent for services.

328i F30 better buy year 2014 if used, otherwise just skip it and buy 330i with the revised B48 engine and HP50 gearbox. However what I hate the most about BMW engines is no dipsticks!

Ah, but can't justify spending 330i money (HM still pushing to buy SUV). Haha so trying to bring budget lower to avoid buying any of that CX-5/CRV.
I heard horror stories about the 320d though, why do you recommend it over the 320i?
Now hunting for a good 328i but it seems Mudah is just super bad..
All my friends with a 320D are really happy and actually I think it's quite a proven engine as I believe it was the same engine in the E90 320D and F10 520D.
Chris Harris himself had a video that said a 320D M Sport is actually the only car you would ever need
320d is the car u ever need.. unless u kaki exhaust + kaki mod.. then stick to the petrol brethren.. good pull (enuf for city n some hiway sprint).. good mileage .. bullet proof engine

nice car. any issue with the n47 engine? what engine oil do u use? i read it can only use the with the LL04 rating. im interested with the used f10 520d, same engine.

The C 250 also same! Gonna do zig zag over a hump if the car is fully loaded!

yea that's why i advice to get the non m sport variant, it doesn't had the lowered suspension like the m sport thus had better ride comfort and ground clearance. i feel that even with regular stock suspension the handling is really good enough i have no complaint

c250 had more hp on the paper but trust me the 320D feel much faster, plus i bet it can't do 14km/l full Urban drive, pejam mata can do 900km per tank, you literally gotta change engine oil every 10-11 time fuel up

Nice car and agreed!! the torque is pretty nice too!
F30 been in the market for about 7 years, the interior is just disgusting. Exterior wise still ok but since I will be in the car most of the time, I can't stand the shit interior :vomit:
Even a 2012 Volkswagen Passat CC 2.0TSI is a better buy. At least its cheaper, interior is ok, dyna audio system and alot of options to mod. Stage 2 already 270bhp 450nm
