Re: BMW Diesel That was the role of the PI previously before greed consumed them.

Re: BMW Diesel I agree self-import is ideal and it comes with challenges : a. Finding a trusted dealer overseas. b. Going through the administrative process yourself. I've absolutely no inclination for paper work. One should be mindful of the trade-offs though. For a typical...

Re: BMW Diesel Gunners : Thank you for the suggestion. I actually find PIs' margins to be more obscene. Considering no investment in staff and infrastructure, no dealership loss to worry about and no effort required on principal management, their margin is more ridiculous. I'd take a...

Re: BMW Diesel The margin on the M5 is a ridiculous $200 000 thereabouts. So what's the margin on the diesel M Performance cars going to be?

Re: Unveiled! 2012 BMW 3-Series F30 PML is like Kah Motors in its heyday. Then, the Honda sales people were ignorant, arrogant and totally forgotten their bills were paid by customers. I went to Kah Motors couple of weeks back after tea at IKEA with my wife. It was empty as empty can...

Re: Unveiled! 2012 BMW 3-Series F30 While M Performance is under M, at the same time it is non-M. BMW - Audi M Performance - S M - RS Note that positive reviews one reads about the F30 328i are based on Adaptive M Suspension and Variable Sport Steering, both of which are options on...

Re: Unveiled! 2012 BMW 3-Series F30 BMW is going big guns on M Performance Automobiles and M Performance Accessories. There will be M Performance Automobiles based on regular BMWs for all familes. If I am looking at the 335i, I will not purchase it now. If you're going to waste that...

Re: BMW 1 series Our F20 has been fine so far but I share your pain. This is not the end. Those CRM "managers" are totally useless. They do nothing more than cut-and-paste and re-direct emails. Ask them, in addition to your earlier email, why the need for 100 km? Ask them, in writing...

Re: BMW 1 series Bullshit 1 : Needing to drive 100+ km to reset transmission. There's nothing to adapt. It adapts to you, not PML cowboys. Bullshit 2 : This is not like a Software Update kind of thing. Whether the problem goes away or not, assert your right for explanation on...

Re: BMW 1 series Not acceptable at all. In a respectful but forcibly assertive manner, ask for explanation and compensation. Do this via your sales man but if that doesn't get you anywhere, you have a great case to bring to higher management. Remember your documentation. Your sales man...

Re: Unveiled! 2012 BMW 3-Series F30 M-Sport Package will be in production only starting July. Check out M-Sport Brakes as factory option too. There will be M Performance cars for all series and in the case of F30, the 335i is the best candidate. Styling wise, I miss Bangle. The F10...

Re: BMW 528i for $298,000 Some colours were not reproducible when BMW switched to lead-free paint, an example being the popular Estoril Blue. Recently BMW was successful in re-creating that and so now we've Estoril Blue II, a M-Sport Package exclusive colour for F20 and F30. Imola Red...

Re: BMW 528i for $298,000 Well there was a time when nearly all E46 on the road was Silver with Black interior. At a traffic light once, there were five E46s around me and all were Silver. Those days, Alpine White (my perennial BMW favourite colour) was so rare for E39, it actually has to be...

Re: BMW 528i for $298,000 When matte colours first surfaced years ago, they were unique. Nice especially when you've the body kit, wheels and suspension etc to go with it. And black wheels were nice too then. Now that everyone has these, they've become uniform. A bit long in the...

Re: PML launch NEW 3 series - Register Your Interest Now I've no crystal ball. I'm a hermit so please do not take me too seriously. When I was touring Japan, I had some of the best pork I ever tasted (and I'm a rare meat consumer). The farmers told me they cultivated the pigs' growth...

Re: PML launch NEW 3 series - Register Your Interest Now a. All these must be viewed in the context of markets and economies' health. b. I was referring to compact executive market near-term. We'd all have a whole new BMW buying experience when there are more authorised dealers...

Re: PML launch NEW 3 series - Register Your Interest Now Well some people have to get a new car because their existing one is due to be scrapped, like in the case of my daughter. She drove a hand-me-down from me during university, and continued to use the car when she started work. I'm...

Re: PML launch NEW 3 series - Register Your Interest Now Agree. If I'm shopping for a compact executive car, I'd probably hold off purchasing as coming 2-3 months would be exciting. Revised Mercedes-Benz C, revised Audi A4 and new BMW F30 all competing for the same money. At this...

Re: PML launch NEW 3 series - Register Your Interest Now The specs for the F30 335i include essentials like Variable Sport Steering and Adaptive M Suspension and toys like HUD. Not too bad. But the specs for the F30 328i are really bare. Note worth the trouble. Good day.

Re: BMW 528i for $298,000 cyrus271 : It's amazing you stuck with your 325i for 4 years, my friend! I sold ours off after 6 months. I thought it was a cruel joke from BMW. The engine just felt so breathless and lethargic. And it seemed my family members were not alone in our...
