As topic..almost settle my old car and time to look at the new car..
Please dont suggest or say better take 320 etc.. Already make up my mind take b38 line
Beside common problem on engine (Turbo,B series engine common coolant issue, oil filter housing, etc)
What are the item need take extra caution when looking for a car...?
Will send for Pre Purchase Inspection if confirm on the unit as well.

118 more expensive right? Then 318 more value. Some 318 comes with nice tan interior.

But me personally prefer 118. Special a bit being the last RWD hot hatch for now, less on the road and more low profile.

Yes, all new 1er and 2er are FWD now, saddening

1er?2er? erm what?

1 series, 2 series

Nope...i getting F20 or F30...No way for me getting FWD in bimmer... If FWD as well getting others.
RWD + 8ZF + B series engine is dream

I would say more hard to get..price wise lebih kurang only.

Ahh... the man knows his pleasures Good luck and keep us posted!

Dont forgot to share us your experience before getting it, owning it and living with it. Kinda interested on how it turned out.

Sure..update here again once i get it.

how often u carry full passenger,
since conti, how many safety u needed.
and using for travel outskirt zone, outstation

im not sure bout f20, but f30 uturn/parking aid is very sux.
thus mom's car kena dented here there n every corners.

before this we owned similar grade & even bigger vehicles. seldom get isu as much as f30 one. in my opinion give 318 a C marks. rather pick something else

Get a 320i LCI at the very least.
Avoid the 3-pot B38 if u can afford to.

Does your F30 have surround camera?

In my case, I waited until the 992 model of the 911 came out because that pet surround camera the previous 991 model did not. For me, surround camera is a Godsend.

95% city use.
only cny balik kampung will carry 4 people...otherwise 1-2 ppl

118 engine is newer than 318. 318 engine got a lot of problem.

both same B38 engine..

msia ckd 318. no reserve camera, no side camera, small idrive screen

Ah I see. Perhaps can retrofit via 3rd party installers.

Can..but for me still ok..dont really rely so much on sensor itself..

You, sir, are a legend then. I’m so fcuking hopeless…. Old and clumsy and reliant on surround cameras to ensure I don’t end up dinging the car haha
