got price list for premium selection Glenmarie. 320d M sports for year 2010 is priced at RM207,170 and 325 M sports year 2010 @ RM240,800 final.

So not sure to pick up which one. Is there any warranty issue if 320d we change the muffler tip after buying the car?

get the D bro.. wont regret it.. i surely didnt!

 

[muhaiminrahim]

why SA in AB Glenmarie said to me that clock start ticking for new date re-purchase for premium selection. Is this new offer from AB? Meaning that if I buy prem selection year 2010, it will only expire in 2013 or 60k mileage, which one is earlier.

its 60k mileage mileage minus the mileage during purchase bro.. dun worry bout the 3yr bsri as most of us will reach the 60k mileage before the 3yr bsri ends.. get the D laa.. look around the forum and read those comments written by D owners.. none regretting theirs..

Mine 177hp engine can fit the kit?

wow! RM 8.5k when considering BMW UK is only charging GBP1000 (or RM5k+) for the kit. anyway, doc, would u have the specs e.g. does it include a torque converter and sports exhaust tailpipe? Does BMW white card members get 20% discount?

I believe the BMW UK kit doesn't include installation

So what's the news about the torque converter upgrade? Definitely not then? Why does it take 2 weeks to install? Hm...

 

[docrayboy]

Didn't get the specs list yet, gameover. They are taking an eternity to get back to me.....

 

[mikeyC]

Going to AB Penang tomorrow to check out the kit.

 

[mikeyC]

The kit can be fitted on 177hp engine, the price tag is RM8513 not including installation. And just got my gearbox and axle oil changed.

Thanks for the info Mikey. I think after instalation it will be 10k oredy. Do u know what will be the HP and torque for the 177hp model after installation?

 

[docrayboy]

I am speaking to BMW Malaysia to give BMWCM official members 320d owners a special discount for the power kit. So, quickly sign up to be OMs!

No idea about the actual number. From the service adviser, the installation only cost around RM250~RM300 as it only takes ~1h30mins according to the paper. Cheers.

 

[docrayboy]

I heard the installation takes 2 weeks!

 

[ALBundy]

Cant be 2 weeks bro. Software remap is less than a few minutes, need to remove bumper to change intercooler and the electric fan also is pretty simple to replace. 1hr 30 minutes sounds resonable.

Best news I've heard all day, AlBundy! Maybe the Sales Advisors haven't got the full run-down about the Kit yet.

You should consider the 320d 2011 instead of the 2010. No regrets for having the idrive.
The 325 straight 6 sounds fantastic when you rev the engine, but feeding the car with RON97 is certainly not cheap these days.
Choose wisely...
