I kind of partially agree and disagree.
On upshift the DSG wet box is way faster than ZF.
But the weakness of DSG is obvious during 1,2,3 gears downshift in start stop traffic. As workaround paddle shifters.

If it make any sense, why would a company design a leasing plan which make them lose money

so that you stay on their brand for very long time ahead?

And if you leave, they'd make sure they've ripped you enough to make a handsome profit.

Hey bro just one more thing I forgot to ask, how much did you get your car for?

Got my f30 last year brand new. Havent even sent it for first service tbh as I am always travelling out of the country for work.

but if ur looking for something which is 2 years old why not just buy it new? im sure they will have some promo going on with the new G30 being released.

I got mine for like 185k after discount and deduction of GST. Plenty of goodies like tinting, fuel card, crystal number plate, TnG, car wrapping thrown in.

Cant say much of my experience with BMW Malaysia. The salesperson got my car out on time. Just kinda lousy with the way they source for number plates. In the end had to go through the whole JPJ process with an external runner to get the number that I want.

F30 after 5 years.. Banyak masuk workshop and damn expensive parts.

2013 F30 owner

F30 with the N20 engines are quite notorious as it was BMW first time into inline4 2.0L turbo engine.
That's why the N20 was only introduce just a few years before they switch to B-series (B38, B48 and B58).. B series was introduced during F30 LCI in late 2015.. B48 being 2L turbo and B38 1.5L turbo.. The new B series seems will be used for many years in BMW and Mini line up..

Toyota is using the B58 inline 6 for their Supra and B48 inline 4 for their lower spec Supra.. that might give some confidence to B series owners..

So the newer models of the F30 (2015) onwards are more reliable?

Better than N20..

N20 is?

sc told me 318 a lot owner claim turbo spoil.
and my house one just sent sc due to drivetrain warning msg.

318 as in 1.5 3 cylinder turbo or

1.6 4 cylinder turbo prince engine ?

318 is 3 api
316 is 4 api prince

I thought the 3 pot 1.5Turbo engine from BMW is a lot better than the 1.6T prince engine, as it's supposed to be a strip off from the normal 4 pot 2.0 engine of BMW.  So you are saying that this 1.5T is not so good ?  That can mean a lot of Mini will kena too.

this turbo charger is join together with exhaust manifold. gurantee always high temperature
suspect due to ckd parts? i hope import cbu are better.

beside this, rear axle make noise during uturn + funny shift pattern.
3api is given poor gear ratio

N20 is?
