The BMW 320d Fanboy Thread


So doies that red triangle next to the mileage means there's a discrepancy, i know guys with the E46 when they changed the mileage you would get that yellow cirlce next to the mileage
That's a lot of car for farkall money.

Jeez i realize now how they fscked me over with the trade-in value when I traded my 2013 F30 320d M-Sport. In March 2017 I traded it in for my now ex-wife for a 2014 Audi S3. The audi had 53k km on and the BMW had 100k km on.

Fsckers gave me R200k trade in. Sommer van voor af de moer in. If it wasn't for her I would have still had it. She didn't like it so I got her the audi. Fok tog.

I look at what webuycars offer and add about 20 to 30K on top of that as my trade in and it worked in the case of my Ford - so dealership have wiggle room
 
but is there no space in the boot under the cover to store a spare tyre right?
Correct.

You can run non RFT tyres tho as mentioned. It will be cheaper to replace, and generally road noise will be reduced. I did this for my personal vehicle, but still used RFT's on my SO's car as I didn't want to risk her standing at the side of the road with a flat.

Have a look on Gumtree for a space saver. New BMW kits pop up every now and then and don't take up too much space in the boot (just buy a jack & tyre iron separately).

What you can also do is, buy a tyre patch kit and a small air compressor. The space under the boot floor is large enough to store all the tools.

If you get a blowout = space saver. If you drive through a nail you can hopefully fix at the side of the road. This route gives you the most options in the case of a flat.

Low fuel maybe?
 
220K for that? No way brother.

Ok... I went and checked Autotrader and such...

Post Pandemic prices for cars are actually batshyte crazy, who the fsck is paying those prices??

a 2014 320d MSport is now R40k more than I paid for my 2015 320d MSport back in 2019 o_Oo_Oo_Oo_O

New car prices are insane so second-hand demand is still high. Not sure we are going to see the drop the US market is seeing
 
Way overpriced if you ask me... For a 2014 the number should be closer to 220 or 230
Yeah, I declined the offer they gave me as they wouldn't negotiate at all. I'll hang onto my Ecosport for the time being and hopefully find something that I like. This will be my first BMW and I don't want to go for I'm not 100% sure about

So I'm clearly a little bit cheapskate at R220k/R230k it seems..

But its standard for a BMW Dealership to not be negotiable, because there will be some twat who will buy it no matter what they price it at really.
 
Mine was 220k also, back in days :(

Funny how BMW adds the extra's on the tax invoice even know its a used car. Was from a BMW dealer.

I've handed back my beloved baby following 3 years and 72 000 problem free km's, to commence with a (mini) sabbatical prior to joining my new employer.

She will be fondly remembered, incredibly practical vehicle that loves shredding in the Alps!

I hate you.. I wish we could get the estate in SA
 
I know exactly what you talking about you just take off from the light and the tyres are lighting themselves up and it makes you look like an idiot, I drive with traction off all the time from back in the days on every car I owned except when its raining or the road is wet, this makes the wheel spins even worse.

I used to own an E46 320i - in my car ownership on of the best cars ever owned, It didnt have power like a 330i but it had adequate power for anything you needed to do. The sound of the straight 6 through the factory exhaust is a note you can not get tired of esp when you floor it in higher gears.

Does your 330d use exhaust fluid ( adblue) out of curiosity?
I am lost on you, exhaust looks normal to me. Also no smoke or funny smells.
