[QUOTE="seewai, post: 592483, member: 11307"] I've been sick since Friday evening and didn't rsvp to any test drive sessions. I woke up the 2nd time yesterday (yeah sleep few sessions a day) in a cloudy & lazy afternoon and decided to bring my family of three to Ingress for a look see. I drove us on our E87 (hoping can get a trade-in quote) without appointment and reached Ingress in less than 10 minutes. Saw a few familiar faces but couldn't name them. Anyway was immediately greeted by an SA Sonny (I can't remember where I placed his biz card, too much medications). Then he started all the introductory as most of you already shared here and a few other threads. Sonny stayed with us throughout our stay, even assisted my wife to purchase a merchandize, until we left the premises about 1.5 hours later. Below is what I learned during the short-stay: 1. AB / BMW Malaysia trying to keep 320d price low to attract more buyers ( to image 520d's success ), however this move has "demodded" 320d to become such a "basic", "unattractive", "nonsense", "WTF!" car. Marketing strategy they call it, I don't blame them. 320d no paddle shift, basic sport rims, iDrive w/o navigation BUT 380Nm of torque. 2. Spent a few good minutes comparing Luxury and Sport 328i, trims, front body kit, interior and exterior colour choices are the differences. I was told all other stuffs like suspension, engine, transmission... are the same in both luxury and sport. 3. Sport has either Red or Black leather, with a choice of red or black lining with while the exterior colour are the same as Luxury. 4. Sport has high-gloss interior and exterior trims & mouldings (right words??) whereas Luxury has "forest" trims and chrome mouldings. 5. Front bumper is different, don't know how to describe. 328i Sport and 335i has the same front bumper/bodykit, Luxury looks different, forgot to check out the one for 320d. 6. 328i Sport has high-gloss exhaust tip, nice! Luxury has chrome exhaust tip, also nice lah. 7. 335i has sunroof while the rest don't. 8. 320d is the only model without padleshift and navigation. 9. passenger door curtains might be available when the "Options" are made available "later". 10. all rubbers are RFT. 11. Display units are CBU. 12. Delivery end June 2012/ early July 2012 for orders made in Ingress. Last but not the least, I was offered trade-in value of my E87 at RM11xk - RM12xk, by a 3rd party car dealer, wonder why Ingress couldn't trade-in directly. End of non-testdrive report, going back to bed. [/QUOTE]
