How are your 320d doing so far?

[JediM]

Even without the DPF, the current diesel engines in the 320D / 520D still burn cleaner than previous diesels. And consumption is a true savings over petrol engines in the same class.

Anyone (Paul?) have more info on the biodiesel availability in Putrajaya?

5 Petronas stations and 1 Shell station

[jovial8]

will go for 520d after doing months of research ...

 

[jovial8]

So, jovial bro getting the 520d or 523i? Made your mind up? Here in KL, the waiting time now 9 months for the 520d. The 523i can get immediately, no demand. Of course the MR 50K difference between the 2 cars also helps the 520d sales.

Will go for 520d after months of research ....

I'm just wondering which one but I guess these are the only stations in Putrajaya eh? Will drive around later today to check it out.

Now the question is if Euro4M comes along tomorrow and it becomes a law to have DPF, will BMW M'sia offer free installation of DPF I bet it will

unlikely. the DPF is a costly piece of component.

Euro4 is still a long way to go for Malaysia, revamping the existing refinery to be able to produce it takes time. So lets not worry about having it tomorrow

Can I bring my 520d, hahaha!

Honestly the price sounds like a seriously good deal since they even give you a beefier torque converter.

This is how manufacturers do modding, mod properly, not just remap and not care about the other variables.

Finally collected my pre reg 320d last week and has clocked around 1300 km so far.....noticed that it gets quite thristy if i drive more aggresively , but very fuel efficient if i drive it v gentle........

 

[bavarian74]

feels that from stop start , the 320d feels a bit "heavy " or a bit slow , i dont know whether its got to do with the tyre pressure as i put 2.3 front and 2.5 rear. this seems high for a "normal tyre" but since its my 1st time using RFT , mayb this is correct for RFT ?

Its the average Fuel Consumption that matters bro. Don't sweat the small stuff. Tekan all the way! Guarantee you'll still get 800km per full tank!
