Every review just teaches you something extra. I didn't know there was a boot release lever on the right side. I was till now just unlocking the whole car and thereby unlocking the boot too. Also I didn't know that there was a sports + mode ( although it would be fun only on curves I guess).
Man I miss those sports seats.
Many many congratulations on the car! |
Thanks, doc! And also thanks for helping me out during the car selection process.
I would recommend to get the PPF done on at least the bumpers as dark colored car will definitely get beating from small flying stones.
Well, probably I too haven't explored all the features yet. Like just couple of days ago I came to know that there is a warning for low water level for washer.

I am happy to see that you are investing in paint protection. Please PM me the cost breakup of the car and the PPF. For academic reasons only.
Thanks! And congratulations once more. Wish you many happy miles in the 320d.
Oh and do get BSI. These things will make your eyes water with their service bills. And the ASC guys think most owners of German cars are frivolous with their money. |
Thanks, BuBooMan! And also congratulations on C250, it is one fine car.
Will PM you the PPF details today.
Extended warranty is what making me go for BSI but will do so just before the first servicing.

Am very interested in knowing what was the final deal you got. If not comfortable sharing here do PM me the same.
Glad to see heart ruling the mind in your decision. No point in earning money when we can't get what the heart wants.
Enjoy your ride! |
Thanks, harry10!
Will PM you the details today.

Thanks, 1<3turbo! Diesel tronic from BMW? I am definitely going to back to you one that one. Probably after a year or so.

The button next to Lim, adjusts the limiter speed, you will see the little green dot move higher and lower when you use those buttons.
Also if I may suggest, change the number plates to IND or the Euro style plates. |
Thanks, akshay1234! Somehow I knew that answer for my question is going to come from you.
Also, thanks a lot for answering my questions during car selection process, it really helped a lot.
Where can I get the IND number plates?
Photography credit goes to sukiwa!

Service pack is a must have if you plan to keep it for long period, you can take it at later stage before you run out of default cover, but dont even think twice on this! |
Thanks for your compliments and also clarifying parking brake issue.
I would be going for BSI just before the first servicing mainly to get the extended warranty.

I like the older 5 series too, E60. The wing style tail lamp is unique, and is something that makes the car stand out. Also, the 530i in the E60 had unique alloy wheels (5 spoke I guess), which looked too good on that car. |
Thanks, Yogesh! Completely agree with you about E60's looks!

Enjoy ! |
Thanks, karan561. Coincidentally today only I spotted a black F30 luxury line in my gym parking while I was reading your post.
But yes black F30 is quite rare and rightly so due to high maintenance.

The interiors look much better on the Sportsline variant with the black seats and red stitching
Wish you many safe and happy miles with this beauty. Hopefully someday i shall join the club! |
Thanks, miharbe! One thing I can say is it is totally worth to go bankrupt for this car. Just go for it.
But ensure you buy Sportline beacuse BMW in luxury trim is really not VFM product. For luxury one should look at A4 or C250.
