After mco, 3 series are now equipped with more safety features with a nominal increase plus 3 months free installment and zero percent interest....

0-interest is almost offered all the time, but the tenure is rather short at about 3 years.

RM5k increment for the camera-based safety features, although better than nothing, is a farcry from the radar-based

Are you a BMW driver yourself? Maintenance already cost a fortune? Bring out your facts, don't just pluck figures from the sky.

Don't tell me you hear from this uncle that aunty blah blah blah.

Yea dude, i too think he is just talking nonsense without stating facts. BMW E46 owner here and till today couldn’t be happier with this evergreen ride.

I was too young to drive when my dad had the E36 BMW circa late 90s. Skipped a few gens, having driven none of the 3 series since then and I couldn't be happier with my ride

Workshop and maintenance? They are just money. People who don't own BMWs (despite my just a 4-month owner) just don't understand. The power, the agility, the looks - when i walk away from my car I would turn and look at it while smiling laugh.gif

My VW 8 years liao, so doing it outside.. not with official center
Last time when I got it new and under warranty, I sent to Wearnes SG Besi (they close down Liao, GVE took over), Wing Hin Balakong, FA Glenmarie and GB Klang.. because I pindah rumah, so I have visited a number of SC..

Best is Wearnes, always give courtesy call when I placed my car their for few days.. too bad they decided to pullout from Msia..
GB klang quite transparent services advisor.. worst is FA Wagen.. no update no follow up when I put my car there to claim warranty..

VW SC (depending which one) last time offer free wash exclude engine bay. Engine bay wash cost rm50.. long time didn't go back VW SC.. not sure what are they offering now.

Honda Tiong Nam do charge for washing (in and out)

The key is to know how to differentiate compulsory service and optional, and owner really have to know are those optionals necessary and are they priced reasonably..

Bro can u pm me outside SC for beemer? Where u would usually rdcommend people to send after warranty over for bmw?

Thank you for the vote of confidence. It is a better ride due to the stiffer suspension, can be sore if the road has too many bumps, but on the highways, it is a godsend - the stiffer suspensions give you more confidence as there is very little body roll

- 258 HP, 400 Nm
- Better all-digital instruments cluster
- BMW ID7, upgradable in the foreseeable future unline ID6 on the 320i
- larger 10"+ center console screen vs 8" on the 320i which has THICK bezle
- Better steering design (phat) vs think one on the 320i
- Sportier front
- Better 205W speakers compared to lesser wattage on the 320i - sure others can say their cars have HK la whatever, but we get whatever is served to us

All I am saying is that all around, the 330i is a better package

By the way how cum you didn't test drive both cars before getting yours? If you listened to these old uncles above 35 sure la they are going to say the M-sports suspension is "too hard", "too stiff"... but that's just an excuse for not shelling out for the top-end (330i is the highest-end 3 Series officially in Malaysia); you dont hear them complaining when they buy their "dream car" 911 or 718 - these have even stiffer suspensions

the 320i by all means isn't the wrong car, but if you can get something better, why settle for less?

Go la, don't menyesal. if buy new, its only RM50k difference, we can probably get that in 2 to 3 months depending on your job/business. Just work a little harder la, push yourself...

if you have to comproise... forget about Bimmers la, just buy a Toyota or Honda. Korean cars can come too. They have good handling and whatnot as well, about half the price of the 320i too, no problem driving them... but you would be compromising la

Menyesal for years to come what for? I shat brix driving my 330i for the first time.. I told myself "no way I am not getting this car". 3 months after that I bought it when there was a good offer. Sports plus, sports transmission mode, zoom away, especially when there are lesser cars cucuking you from behind, including any other 3 series on the road.

the 330i G20 is the fastest 3 series in Malaysia officially... can't beat the M3 F80 la, but not that many M3s in Malaysia.. that means you have a speed demon, anything non conti won't do it against you, not even sleeper cars (because of 20% max capacity upgrade during a transpant)

I am a gentleman driver, but even I have my limits when some Myvis cucuk me when there are cars ahead, not to mention I used the speed/acceleration to escape shitty situation like traffic crowding (moto cycle onyour right, lorry on your left...)

"Flak this shit, I'm outta here" and I zoom away

320i enough. The power difference in city driving is negligible.

U will only feel the power diff at very high speeds

330i u reach 180-200kmh u can tekan and go even faster

320i u reach 200kmh slightly out of breath already

The cracking sound of 330i on sports mode is enough reason to buy
