[QUOTE="Zarcon, post: 523286, member: 23377"] cant believe how is it that people are complaining when there is a price reduction in the first place....hmmm...i've always thought that a price increase will spark complaints... but a reduction in price ? ? being a first time owner of a turbodiesel engine ... i just gotta say that i find the car awesome from a layman's point of view. 1) I get a car which has super pick-up speeds :top: 2) Super fuel efficient(RM 100 for 700km minimum with quite a heavy right foot):wink: 3) Never having to be worried about petrol price increase(i think diesel is not subsidised in malaysia-not too sure) 4) paid less than a 320i (why bother about resale value 5 yrs later when i save now and enjoy for 5 yrs at minimum) 5) have read much about the "diesel quality in malaysia as compared to europe" but to me as long as its approved by bmw then whats the big deal? Hmmm...dont see much comparison or in depth study of the petrol here and europe. 5) Gets quite a good conversation with most of the people i meet when they become curious about "Why diesel" ? (dont get to chit chat much when its the usual "Oh .. you got a bmw...nice") 6) Get to "power-kit" it further ... :love: If you ask me to trade all that in for a "quieter engine from the outside" or "emits less smoke", i would like to think the noise is always someone else's problem and the smoke is also someone else's problem ... lol....:biggrin: imho, just because something is different people tend to talk about it more. Just need a bit more time for people to accept it. or maybe ... if suddenly the petrol price drops drastically.... the quality of petrol also drops dramatically? :biggrin: maybe someone else will complain then if the petrol price is too cheap..:sleep: [/QUOTE]
