cx5 2.5 turbo at 180k is much better spec and features compared to bmw x1 or 320i or  mini cooper.

If want features, x70 better

Just did tyre alignment, balancing and rotation. It is not covered under 5Y/Unlimited + free scheduled service warranty package.

It cost me RM371, tax inclusive. While an Alza only cost RM53 for alignment+balancing+rotation.

Think twice before you really think this warranty package will get everything taken care of during your first 5 years ownership.

Yes...their balancing and alignment is double. I think they take it outside eg Lim Tayar to do. No problems with it as they are reputable. Just that it’s cost on cost and hence double

Not yet 20k/month, but i’ve low commitment & single
My commitment only around 30% if my nett salary
If i get 330i my commitment will be 45% of my nett income
But 320i will be lesser than that
Just thinking getting beemer to fulfilling my “enjoy before married” plan and 320i is a good entry level

Also contemplating bout the after sales service
Many people recommend me to go for auto bavaria but quill seems offer more discount
Haihhh

What is the discount currently?

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

Hey guys im also thinking about getting my first BMW, and the 320i G20 has been the one that has caught my attention the most.

Would like some opinions from seasoned BMW owners about buying new and using it for say 8-10 years.

My previous f30 320i lasted for 7 years. Only issue was an oil leak which cost RM3k to fix. Nothing major other than this

BTW, what kind of oil leak need RM3k? Did your mechanic tell you where & what part to replace? As recently my mechanic told me mostly f30 oil leak is just from the head cover, oil seal which is common areas, the most just change few rubber seal which cost few hundred only and the most workmanship kau kau only around 1k if need to dissemble the gearbox/engine for flywheel & gearbox oil seal.
The only concern for this engine batch is the N20 timing chain guides which will degrade and break into pieces and this is the only higher cost to replace.

Not an expert….but generally good experience with the car.
3k includes cost of new oil as there were little oil left.
