Motorheads,

I'm currently looking at pre-owned/used F30 LCI (facelift) 318i Luxury Line with less than 2 years of age, so hoping any owners / ex-owners could share your insight if you have owned or have any immediate family owning this car on what's the running costs, fuel efficiency around town, maintenance costs, experience dealing with BMW Malaysia like and other common issues.

The reason I've shortlisted this car is I love the driving dynamics of the F30 despite 318i being the entry level 3 pot engine, it's within my purchasing budget (I was also looking at new Japanese D segment sedan) and it's also easier to maneuver around town compared to bulky D-Segments. Can't doubt I've also always adored the BMW brand.

Genuine experience / opinion is greatly appreciated here.

Edit: I'm not a boy racer and typically a light footed guy who frequently ferries my family around town & to work so 136 horsepower is sufficient for my usage.
