Are you willing to pay close to 400k for it?

 

[fschen]

In my case, i will add advance comfort access into my list.
Of cause, 400K is reasonable with these spec.

Are you willing to pay close to 400k for it?

For me, RM350k for SKD is fine. Maybe BMWM should introduce 2 variance of 328, something like for E60 523i SE as they did it before.

 

[HypoGXII]

You forgot comfort access! Despite the red stretch on the dashboard, I'm still inclined towards the Sports Line

 

[Morganl]

for 400k, u might wanna first check out 528i and see what is missing from your wishlist above....

 

[andrewlim8]

528i doesn't come with full comfort access.

1 series were sold CBU from our local authorised dealer, and yes, you were allowed to spec your car back then since it hasn't been built when you place your order, just place deposit and wait couple of months. For nessman's case, if money is no objection, I'm pretty sure something can be arranged.

Worst come to worst, just order the add-on and retro fit lor.. just like the Performance edition.. What steering you want? Fast & Furious decals also can put.. :4:

 

[nessman]

if an skd is gonna come up to rm400k with my spec req,n yup i'd throw in the comfort access too,its reasonable-but now am considering the 335i...go all out top of the range...fully satisfied!!hope its all available!if not medern,luxury with some bits of m-features shud also do the works!thanks all for inputs!

An HUD or Harmon Kardon wouldn't make a BMW any more complete than it already is. It only make one feel better just because he/she can afford it, or make his/her BMW more unique than others. The biggest achievement in building a BMW [according to my definition] is when they successfully manipulate the chassis weight evenly across the car, left to right, front to rear, with minimal sacrifice in cabin space, creative use of lighten components with minimal sacrifice in cost and reliability, and remain a top scorer in crash test rating. This design philosophy or DNA of the car is at the bottom of others automakers' priorities list, which makes BMW one of it's kind.

The sweet sound in a BMW doesn't come from the audio system but from the acoustically tuned engine and exhaust note. Even the scent in the car is "tuned" by scent specialist.

To do justice to the well designed chassis, only an //M would complete it. You should check out the performance spec 3-series like the old CSL.. you are actually paying more for less.

Yup! 335i is an excellent choice! and envy of many!

 

[nessman]

cool definitions there astroboy!appreciate it!yup,its all true!n yup going for the //M is the best option!i wanna make the best out of the already so finely designed to excellence of the F30-tat's all!come on,there's Bose sound system for an Alfa 156...the reason y i like Harman so much is coz my car is my ultimate sound machine too-taboo isn't it-for 'the ultimate driving machine'!on the otherhand i'm also looking too far at a distance for an facelifted version of the F30...keep looking fwd,n nevereneding ain't it?if not up to taste,i can always fall back to my current passion-the F30!the overall make has satisfied me..so to make it unique n not so much of a comparison to inferior specs/makes,i want those HUD n Harman,n some techys!!

 

[wobbles]

MY humble 2 cents worth - it's a damn fantastic feeling to pick & choose, mix & match, option & specify a car to your individual tastes. These options will cost more than if you bought something ex-stock; ie. off the rack, but these options also define your everyday driving experience - after all, you 'built' that car.

HOWEVER, be prepared to wait.

A damn long time.

I don't know how it works in Malaysia, but I was made to wait for nearly 6 months (Near end October 2011 indent, 1st week of March delivery) for my car - but, I know this much: I LOVE EVERY SINGLE MINUTE I GET TO SPEND IN IT!

Good luck with your choice bro!

Received call from SA and was convinced by him to transfer my booking to CKD/SKD 328i Luxury. Another chance for me to become BMW owner again.

how much u paid the booking for ?

 

[nessman]

i'm not in a hurry to get a car...this is just an addition,for the sake of love for the machine...if its a long wait but worth it,i don mind!price shud compensate for the quality NOT paying them authorities(usually is).Extract fr Top Gear UK,the best car ever made,in overall aspect-the F10 550d..costs about GBP63k,but not marketed for Brits!tat sums to about RM310k...so,in Malaysia we r paying hefty $$ to the legalised authoritarian monopolizing national robbers!whats wrong having our roads filled with Beemers,mercs,audis,porsh,maseratis n etc....still debatable coz Malaysian drivers simply r one of the worst,unethiquette,disorganized n senseless drivers i've observed around the world!i notice 1gud driver in 20/30.drifting out of topic...wobbles is right to say about the waiting period!
