[QUOTE="dilbert, post: 735068, member: 24681"] hi all, am relatively a newbie to this forum group, although have been reading the threads in the past (including the previous forum before migration to this group). currently own and drive pre-LCI F25 20d for almost 2 years now (full-spec version, minus the DDC from CBU models).. excellent fuel consumption if driven in very civilized mode (i.e. within legal speed limits), even then above legal speed limits still frugal relative to gasoline-siblings.. town driving not too bad, on"eco-pro" mode.. but never liked the auto start-stop feature, so it's always disabled.. and still return very decent mileage. only need to do intermediate own service (at around 7,000 - 8,000 kms, half of the recommended interval of 15,000 kms) at own expense, as the free BS+RI only covers the recommended service intervals. but a small price to pay for the longevity of the engine, considering the "less-than-ideal" Euro 2M diesel quality.. can't wait for the Euro 5 diesel to be available in the Klang Valley.. only worry now is the introduction of B10 biodiesel in October - how it will affect my drive (and other diesel BMW owners), given that BMW has come out to say that their diesel engines can only run up to B7 (if not mistaken most diesels at the pump now are B5 - B7 grade). still waiting another official statement from BMW Malaysia on this matter. btw, just wondering if the ride does really make a difference between the CBU models with DDC vs. the CKD models on conventional suspension set-up. haven't had the opportunity to do a comparison test. on another notes, anybody has any specific issues (besides already shared here) so far? cheers.
