I placed booking for 320i with some rebate , but struggling with should I wait for new x1

I have not made booking but kind of having the same dilemma. Tested the current X1 and is a no brainer to go 3 series but all the overseas reviews suggest the new X1 is very different.

Also - I am considering both 330i and 330e and have been really indecisive about it.

330i - the only thing that I wish it has is the adaptive suspension. The passive is too stiff for my liking on 90% of the usage. If it comes with adaptive, then the choice is easy.

330e - I consider this because it has the adaptive suspension (maybe a stupid reason for a lot of people?). Not really concerned on the FC or RV but more on the reliability (more problems?) and I have a noob question - going on a long trip like 700 - 800km, start with full charge, but will it end up dragging the extra weight with absolutely no hybrid advantage if do not re-charge during the 700 - 800km drive? Or it will still have the benefit as it recharges itself? I am talking about a "normal" drive, highway maybe keeping it at 110km - 130km... occasional speed up but that might be just 10% of it....

If the frost color is in Malaysia, I bet a lot of potential buyers will be willing to pay a premium for it. It is just so attractive (well, at least from YouTube and overseas' reviews).

Yes, you might burn more petrol with the extra weight. But let's be realistic la, why are you worried about FC with the current RON95 price? If you are worried about FC then you should get proper FC efficient car. Say 2l per 100km different in FC, it's RM4+ for 100km. if you travel 2000km per month, it's RM80+ different. Given that you can afford 330i or 330e, RM80+ is barely a slightly good meal with your partner, and how many good meals you have each mth without thinking much?

RV definitely not amazing la, i'll rather buy a slightly used authorized 2nd hand, maybe demo or manager car.

As mentioned, I am not concerned on the FC/RV. The question on the highway cruising without charge is for me to understand how it works under that condition/circumstance (that's why I said "benefit" rather than consumption, for example, do I still get that "instant torque" etc) smile.gif

Maybe a Mercedes will be better for you if you are into comfortable drive

I guess sometimes it is not just purely which car/brand can overcome the shortcoming that we are concerned about (yes, it may not be a concern to another person, it could even be advantage). Merc may (I have not tried the W206) give u the comfort but it does not give you the rest of the things that a BMW offers. Sometimes it is also brand preferences to certain extend where we try to find ways to make it "work" within a brand, hoping that will be a solution (like BMW will eventually offer adaptive on 330i or get convinced that the passive is not that bad or hey... PHEV actually has no issue at all)... I guess that's the fun part about throwing the so called "concern" in the forum so others with actual experiences on either of those cars can comment or feedback if those concerns are even valid.... or if they came across the same and how they overcame it and got to the decision that they have made...
