BMW 320D Highline initial review

morphin1 · 7th January 2009, 00:42

Hi all,
Its been a long day i.e 6th January 2009,Tuesday.I took the delivery of my car today evening at about 5:20 PM from Deutsche Motoren and just got back home after driving it around a bit. It's been a long and confusing journey none the less a very exciting one.I thank everyone here at Team Bhp for their valuable inputs and for helping me decide on this car.
I have the White/Terra and will be posting the pics and details pretty soon.
Just wanted to share this moment with everyone here.
Thanks again everyone and a happy and prosperous new year to you all.
Cheers

Congratulations on your new BMW morphin. The 3 looks best in white. Did you get another set of alloys like you wanted? Do keep this thread regularly updated and yes pictures please

Enjoy your new car.

Hey Congrats on the purchase buddy.
One of the best diesel driver's car around the market right now.
The highline adds to the advantage.
Pics of the interiors.
Has the updated i-drive come on this BMW?

Great choice morphin and am sure you are enjoying each moment to the max with your drive.

Sahil · 7th January 2009, 11:40

Congrats! I hope you are getting a buyback on the RFTs and switching to tubeless?
Awaiting pics...

morphin1 · 7th January 2009, 15:13

Hi all,
It's indeed an awesome car.I just find the steering very hard and thats the only down side to it.
Diesel engine isn't loud and sound insulation is pretty good.
Sahil am sticking to runflats as I have opted for BMW secure so I am allowed 4 tyre changes free every year in case they pop.
White defo is good looking and you guys will be able to better judge the car when i post the pics.

Ashish the pickup is very good. Will post all the details with sounds and hopefully videos also soon.
Cheers

Those interiors in teracotta are just yummy. Man I love them.

The white exterior with the terra and black interiors with the splash of burr wood finish. Just love it. Perfect colour combination.
