Yea, I feel there's a slight lag in pick up compared to the exora when I floor it. Or maybe it's still in the break in period and I dare not floor it too much? :p
 
focus your attention on something other than its engine performance, you'll appreciate the 316i more.

Agree with this ... performance is nothing to do with KL traffic ... lol

I was working at Federal Auto when they launched the first S/V40 here.. not then, now, or ever!
 
As your first post says you are using this for sales job.

Sometimes (not all the time) image counts in sales. But of course depends on what you are selling. Generally speaking image plays an important factor. the Initial impression factor.

There I feel you should take this into consideration as well

Dear BMW brothers,

The size for 320i vs 316i is totally same.

The price is only difference by 28k + only (Co-operate discount)

Test drive both car ... don't really see the difference on the road for KL drive.

Using this car for sales job ... jamming every day in KL

What would you buy if you're in my shoe?

How big is the difference despite the BHP?

Please advise.
 
i'm driving the 316i. So far quite happy with it except for the steering rack issue. I can hear knocking sound everytime going through bump!
there is a slight lag in the pick up even in sports mode but the lag is acceptable to me since i hardly drive fast. The only time I drive in sport mode is when the road is really empty and when I feel like getting some thrill. So, at the end of the day, it really depends on your driving style. If you are a fast driver or seeks for thrill, then the best to go with 320. if u're an 'uncle' driver like me, 316 will do i guess.
one more thing is, the petrol consumption is high when in sports mode. I see the fuel meter drop real fast. I'm wondering is it because of the extra power required by the 1.6 engine to drag the heavy body. Is this normal too for 320? i see from the the idrive my fc is 8.9l/100km. not sure how accurate is this. the first 2 times i fill up the tank the EB shows 800km, but now it only shows 730km for full tank. is this normal??

Hahaha pretty true but after checking out the V40 CC, damn the car is fine looking and the interior feels damn nice. Heck of a lot better than my E90.
 
I got another problem now, now my Audi SA tells me that my Audi A6 Hybrid estimated arrival time is November ... ask me do i want to confirm the deal. My 316i is already approve also but estimated delivery time on September ...
Now the question is ... Should i wait for Audi A6 or get my BMW 3 series ...

For you guys which do you prefer?

3 series and A6 are 2 different thing leh.... A6 is more of a 5 series equivalent... A6 is definitely more spacious. It's your money, what do u want? U have asked yourself what u saw and want from these 2 cars and cross one of it out.. Or buy both... :p
 
I think the F30 looks better and drive better than the A6 personally but your money choose according to your taste.
But if you wanna compare with the price you are paying for A6, I think its only fair to compare it with 328 not 316

Just let the SA know your close relative will take over your slot. Talk to them nicely. I am sure they can accommodate your request. It's a small matter only.
 
Bro, this is not apple to apple comparison, more like dragon fruit to jambu..haha..
Dude, clearly, power wise n glamour its A6 Hybrid. The only thing is that u may need to find a driver for that mean machine. Just to share. A friend of mine bought an A6 Hybrid, and all these while i thought he's just the driver not the owner. Sorry mate..
