I got friends that bought 330e either it's 2017/2018 that still under warranty last year, after bought 2nd went to claim full warranty to change all changeable parts.

That's what they told me and is this claim valid?

on the final year of warranty... you request an end of warranty inspection and they will change whatever necessary, excluding normal wear n tear items...

Oh, for real? Is this valid for all cars or just BMW?

I have extended 7 year warranty plans for both my Porsches in Sydney. Am thinking of doing this at the end of the warranty period.

for sure bmw n mini provide FREE end of warranty checks and fixes... others dunno

alternately you PAY for a thorough inspection and request faulty items to be replaced under warranty

Yes, thats the term.

Completing on this that still have warranty or CLA200 1.6.

Going to test drive both model soon.

i think these merc is 3 yr warranty?

make sure mileage hasn't been tampered... if real mileage has exceeded warranty you gg...

330e will drive better than cla200... but i would seriously look at cla250 instead... wink.gif

Is this the old CLA or new (present generation) CLA?

The new one is a much better drive than the old, and IMHO looks better too smile.gif

old cla... M'sia stopped bringing new cla models... got only a and c class

Okay, add another model cla250. Haha. All of them are under 100k used.

2015 cla200
2015 cla250, I browsed through carlist and saw one still have warranty until 2027. A bit on the warranty part.
2018/2019 330e, need to make sure can do the end of year warranty claim.
*
used car sellers all tamper mileage one... be very cautious wink.gif also listings mostly cut n paste... but anyways one has to start somewhere...

as for bmw... can also consider 330i while you are at it... i think its ok also if previously done end of warranty claim, then you know car is local n just 'refreshed'...

anyways good luck... buyers market now... lowball the sellers... wink.gif

583km on the odometer only …. It’s not that I baby it. It’s that my wife hates it and refuses to get in it with me. She prefers the Cayenne’s air suspension comfort.

The only not so good thing about 320d is the owner putting their syok sendiri price when put it on sales. Not because it is fuel efficient (this car from what my friend driving, if put above national speed limit, also getting almost similar km/l as petrol) but due to became most reliable bmw engine than any other petrol powered bmw engine. But the recent B48 petrol powered also getting better reliability wise.
