The BMW 320d Fanboy Thread

[Nithan15]

They not that much to maintain, I see Goldwagen and Midas carry spares for them , you just need a guy , the 3.0d would be a better option those are bullet proof

 

[ToxicBunny]

Agreed. You can't be on a budget when dealing with these German Machines.

Honestly I found my 320d to be cheaper to maintain than the missus piece of jap scrap honda.

Would really love a 330d - E90 or F30.

Perfect “upgrade” from the GTI in my books.

Tell me again with a straight face - why did you get rid of the 3er 320d?

Are Midas spares decent? I’m curious to hear this.

Cos it was a daft MSport variant so the shocks and tyre's were stupid expensive..

Oh and I wanted the 320d equivalent in a bakkie and got an Amarok.

So you’re anti the M-Sport variant?

I’m guessing that the M-Sport is also not conducive to KZN roads what with the state they are in

Seems 10000% on the money there imo.

20d owners, what kind of milage do you get when mostly doing city driving? Like a 70:30 split perhaps?

I have a Sportline and even then the ride can be a bit jarring, a new set of RF's smoothed out the ride some. Hit a pothole on the N2 a while back that burst the run-flat, sounded like a gunshot from inside the car.

20d owners, what kind of milage do you get when mostly doing city driving? Like a 70:30 split perhaps?

7.6l/100km, constant back to back traffic with A/C always on.

Lol, mine is paid off. Gives me very little issues. Trade expected R130k, so what do I buy, everything is a downgrade. I will rather keep her well maintained for another 5 years.

Town / loadshedding traffic ( and driving like a bit of a cnt) 14km/L

Open Road, free way, cruise control at 120, 20-23Km/L

Well if you're super smart you could get a nearly new S-Presso (Expresso)

Jokes aside very valid point. It was raised here:

How long have you had your current car?

Will be smoother without runflats. My car sounds much quiter and overall better when I switched to normal tyres.

F30 320d?

20d owners, what kind of milage do you get when mostly doing city driving? Like a 70:30 split perhaps?

10 year old 320d (F30 - sportline - 17" wheels). 6.5l/100km lifetime average.
mid to Late 4's or early 5's for roadtrips.
