Thanks Bro. BaddBoyz3,

Now I enjoy every moment I drive my 320d, some times when I reach home, don't even want to come out.

Its really the Joy of riding.

I love BMW.

[Chee Huat]

Thank you Mr. President and Bro JFT63.

Just wondering what is the 1st service for my new 320d?

some said 2000km (One of the post in this forum), some said 7000km (According to Autobavaria Sg. Besi's technician).

According to board computer is another 10,000km to go and is schedule at January of 2013.

So which one should I follow? ^_^

Looking for next gathering, If timing OK,
Sure will join the team.

I am currently fill in the form to become official member. ^_^

After one month driving my lovely 320d,
every things is perfect just have 3 problem:
1. A bit shaking when the road condition uneven, but when I driving Honda City and Nissan Sentra, don't feel like this before
2. Sound from the door, understand is because of the door rubber not friendly with the high gloss rain water channel (Is fix after send in to do the door shield using transperent tape)
3. Wind blowing sound from back doors when car speed above 110 km/h (Understand need to send in again for 2 days to cut out the triangle door window and redo the silicon, this one still not done, curious that will it be look not original after the technician do all this touch up works?)

Another things is quite disappointed that the problem number 3 will happen (It seems like common problem that the Autobavaria's technician already know what happen when I mentioned that), Honda City and Nissan Sentra also don't have this type of problems why it happen to BMW?

Any senior here already have the explanation from BMW?

Is it I am too unlucky?

Bmw does not offer softer ride compared to japs models..it should be stiffer but reasonably comfy in my opinion la..its at its best when high speed cruising on the highway..my 0.002 cents....

Bro in the first place, you should not have the wind noise coming in. BMW is not built in that way. This what happens when the car is assembled here locally. ( i suppose yours is). So my advice to you demand that these issues are rectified properly to your satisfaction. Make sure you have written the complain and hand it over to the counter. Pls keep a copy of the complain you have done. Will come in handy in the future. After paying so much more than a japanese car you deserved more comfort thats why you bought a BMW right. So bro get your money's worth. Or else take the complain all the way to the headquarters in Germany.

Thanks Bro. smike,
Mine is CKD.
Thanks for the advice and I really don't want to keep this silence. I'll start writing the letter now.
Even the cost of rectifying the problem will bear by BMW, but I still think that they are waisting our time.

Cheers

Well bro, good luck but remember be persistent. Dont let go until you are satisfied. Its your hard earned money and they just cant give excuses. A friend of ours had a bigger problem and finally they had to give him another new car when he decided to bring in lawyers. So there you go, they will try to give excuses, but if you stay put then they will oblige. :cheers: bro.

By the way there is a OTT meet this friday at Citta mall, look up at the members meet section. Come and meet up the rest and maybe your problems can be solved faster. :cheers.
