Newbies-getting F30 soon

[seancorr]

Which dealer are you doing this with?

I want to find out about this too.

I ordered it from Quill...pls note Quill after sales service has shifted to the factory area opposite from its showroom. Much larger service center and a body & paint shop coming soon.

Wow that is a lot of money to pay for a reverse camera. Do keep us posted on your feedback after you have it installed and tested.

Dealer fitted stuff, had to swallow a gulp of saliva before I signed the order sheet...will keep you posted once I have this installed.

Thanks splee, still trying to get used to driving f30.....initial feedback is much better than my lost w204

If you want to turn off the radio and all other electronics you just need to press twice when you are shutting down the engine.

The F30's were famous for its poor NVH. Hopefully they address the issue in the LCI model coming later this year.

well I have driven both w204 (June 14 to Jan 15) and f30 (1 week)

So far seats are wider for driver for W204 (good for big size aka fat guy like me)

But seats are way more comfy in F30 compared to W204 as it is softer in F30. Also leg room and space are a little more for rear passenger (as per my wife)

As for NVH, dun find it any different from W204. maybe I have not tested much on highways yet.

Update, BMW Malaysia has advised that all 316i will not be able to install the ori reverse camera due to the differences with the radio system so yeah...even if you have the cash you will not be able to install it....face palm.
