Considering buying 320i - need advise

[gregcwho]

Hi all,

Am considering buying 320i or 320d. Which is better?

I also heard and observed that BMW cars are not as reliable as Japanese car. My wife drives a Nissan - extremely reliable and had not encountered any issue with it at all. I drive a Peugeot that keeps jerking which they could not fix and I had to change the air condition compressor recently which obviously cost me a bomb (RM4K) too.

With the bad experience encountered with my continental car, am in a dilemma as to whether I should get another continental car or the reliable japanese car..

Please help advise. Thanks!

Bro,

Appreciate it if you could do an intro in the Newbie's section before further posting..

Thanks.

Cheers

[muhaiminrahim]

from wat my sa told me, the price shud be relatively same to our current 320d.. how they wud maintain the price? reduce the accessories/ functions of the car eg. no idrive, etc..

BMW Malaysia Head of Marketing says all BMW cars will have iDrives from now onwards....

They should've done this long ago. BMW should be made compulsory with iDrive. No iDrive mana best?

Agreed. That's what Audi did. The Multimedia display is available across the range for B8 model even on entry level A4 1.8 T.

Between now and 6 months from now, might as well wait. If by then the F30 is within your price range, go get it. If it's not, get the E90 at a fraction of the price of what you buy now.

Good things happen to those who wait.
