How are your 320d doing so far?

[docrayboy]

My friend, the motoring journalist is in Catalunya Track, Barcelona reviewing the F30 as we 'speak'. He says the F30 is very handsome from the outside and the inside is much classier now. Get ready to buy the F30! Start saying farewell to your darling E90!
Here are the pics he sent me just today!

wokay guys, dec 11 is a week away, but i've not really had a good chance to recce beyond the ulu yam area.
many people have talked about kuala klawang, anyone been before? i've been part of the way there, and have some ideas on a route, but need to check out the road conditions. uncle google tells me it's a 200km round trip. hands up who's keen! will firm up the session over the next few days or so.

Dec 11th confirmed for a Dieselhead Drive.
I recce-ed the kuala klawang roads yest, and found it to be a really technical drive, totalling about 150km. Scenery's so-so, but the twists, bends, climbs, drops, guaranteed to give you and your diesel horse a good workout, and finishing up with a nice wide straight road back to KL. Surface condition's 85-90% good on the country roads, and very good on the highways. Only issue is no real place to go makan makan haha. Our other option is a little more scenic, much less challenging. Anyways, i'm keeping the destination option open to all who sign up. We leave KL at 730, back by noon including TCSS session.
If we get 3 cars or more, road trip is on! Let's try to get all cars confirmed by Wed, so can do a little pre-planning / coordination.

Dear Maniac,

Thanks for the recce effort. I should be avail..!!!! and looking forward..!! but please ar.... drive slow-slow... hope no mata-mata is monitoring this post..

 

[docrayboy]

Try my best maniac bro to make it this Sunday! Will confirm very soon!

On a side note, my motoring journalisty friend just got back and he says get the 328i! With 350nm torque and almost 250hp, it is better than the 320d he says-and he knows i am a die-hard 320d fan. He tested both of them on the track and also up the hills-the 328i is the car to get he says-oh, oh....I don't want to betray you all....what to do? decisions, decisions....

Yeah I know bro Wuk51....but if you get a petrol car with 350nm torque...and then almost 250hp....then you would be really confused too, wouldn't you? of course, wait for test drives!

 

[haywire]

Doc, get the 330d later la hehehe

BTW the F30 looks damn cun lah!

doc,u might be one of the reason why I and many other 320d buyers chose the d. hehe. u r like the 320d ultimate warrior.
so pls don't betray. if u want to buy the 328i by all means go ahead but buy the 320d f30 too. hahaha.

Thanks for replying guys. So far - kong, tradingcrew & maniac firm. docrayboy & wuk51 tentative. Drive is a GO! any other diesels interested, give me a shout! 520d, 530d, x(d)-series! :4:
Will confirm drive route on Wed, when we get the final tour group. If we have many first timers, I'll opt for the more relaxed route. Don't worry, it will be just as fun.
brader kong, don't worry, we will drive at our own pace. it's not a race!
WUK, we will either meet at Gombak or Ampang.
docrayboy, hope you can make it - we'll chat about f30 ("to d or not to d") over a few drinks!

 

[morrogan]

If I really purchase a 320d, I have to admit that Doc's + Paul's influence are the major contributing factor without doubt....
