Your steering having the clunking noise when turning? There's a repair kit for that, around 400 bucks including installation
As long as the tire circumference difference between the front and back tires is not too big, it will be fine.

alrite. 400 is acceptable.
yaa, match the front & back tyre size is fine

It sounds like some spring sound. Still under warranty can claim?
I heard steering noise is a known issue for F30s

If spring noise, its probably something else. How long more is your warranty? Usually few months before warranty end, they will call you in for free inspection

So far I had good experience with Tian Siang but not Auto Bavaria. Tian Siang seems more professional and they will change parts for you even if you didn't complain about it.
Auto Bavaria will only focus only the part you complain. So most of the time, they couldn't isolate the issue.

From my own experience, they only change cheapo parts that are easy to reach. In my case they only changed a clip for the handbrake line

However, some owners get more thorough checks and changed alot of parts.

Best bet would be to take it to 3rd party workshop, let them inspect for a fee. Note down all the parts that needed changing, and during the end of warranty inspection, show them the list

Hi guys. A SA from AB is telling me that the waiting period for 330i is 1 month+, while the SA from Ingress says that it will take 2-3 months. Is it true that different dealers/branches have different waiting periods?

Is it normal when you slow down, the gear downshift and you can feel each downshift? Like the RPM will jump each time the car shift gear..

Everytime it downshifts, at each change of gear, it will rev up by itself..

Normal AT cars don't do that right ?

benz rev at 1000rpm below when we brake slowly to full stop.
downshift to higher rpm if he detect downhill u let go gas
or hard brake full stop

idle 500-600rpm only.

honda toyota near 1000rpm since the idle about 800rpm

I notice even on flat roads, when brake and slow down, the car will downshift and each downshift the RPM will rev to 1500-1800. So sometimes you can feel the rev, it feels like a pullback. This normal too?

There's a thing called one pedal driving which is more apparent in electric vehicle, you can google up to understand more.

I believe BMW & ZF is trying to achieve this, because every time you lift off the accelerator, especially at speeds below 50km/h, the engine automatically applies some engine braking and recuperate the energy to charge up the car's battery.

That's why when you look at the efficient dynamics info at the instrumental cluster, you can see 'charge' when you feel the car slowing down by itself.

Even though it's not a hybrid vehicle, the car still recoup energy and charges the battery.

Agree with you on the engine braking and it is part of the efficient dynamics configuration. In a way it is good, just a little discomfort on the driving side.

If you didn't like it, try switching to Eco Pro as Eco Pro comes with coasting function by default. During coasting, which happens above 48km/h, the car does not perform any engine braking when you lift off the accelerator until your speed falls below 40km/h or after you apply a certain amount of braking force.
