Congrats Naz!

Hi Ray,

I just bought the same unit fm Quill as well but the car will only be out next week i guess.I asked Quill about the plaque also but til now no answers fm them.

Hi Nazli!
Yeah...I think they don't know about the plaque...weird. Don't know why CBT mentioned it. Congrats on the purchase!! Enjoy the car!sikit noisy lah but inside very quiet. I got free Lunaar tinting. I read that Makko got a free BMW GPS unit from AB! What did they give you to sweeten the deal? Did you get any further discounts for the 2009 cars? I got 6% plus another 10K(corporate discount)

Regards,
Ray

Hi danc!

What is the redline for this diesel car? Just wondering how useful would the rev "meter" on the steering on a diesel car?
BTW congrats on the new car doc. I just love the torque!

Hi danc!

I think the redline is 7K. There's no rev limiter, so it doesn't matter. The gear box adjusts accordingly-even in manual shift mode. The rev meter is just lights that come alive and blink yellow then red when you tekan the engine, to make the steering look livelier-maybe a bit Ah Bengish...but it looks cool!lol!:top: I bought the car mainly because of it. Also the rear and side carbon black spoiler and side mirror looks unique, and not too plain.

Regards,

Ray

Thanks Ray.

My offer by Quill was more or less the same as what u got.Makko got GPS fm AB but the car was not L.E. i guess.On my side i'm thinking to put BMW P rims + brake system. Already asked fm my sales adv. to quote me at discounted price.We better ask abt the plaque since it was published already in more than one medium.:listen:

My 530d the redline depend on the condition of engine. Once the engine getting RPM.

I do not sure if 320d will go to 7000 RPM. The diesel engine characteristics is not the same as petrol. At 200km/hr, the RPM is just around 2000+.

 

[docrayboy]

Danc....who r u?

Yes I know Max, we kinda also started the for-wheels blog.

Let me guess...Peter?

 

[danc]

Let me guess...Peter?

No I am not Peter. I am Dan.

 

[docrayboy]

320d RPM

Sorry Danc its maximum 6000 rpm, checked it today. Huh? You know Max?

Hi Dan!

Redlines at 5K....max rpm 6K....but most of the torque available even at below 2K..:love:

And don't even think of the C class...this what What car said ....

So there you go, the 320d ES remains miles ahead of anything Audi and Mercedes can offer – and we reckon it’ll probably remain that way for some time yet.
