Re: 216d Grand Tourer
Hi Guys,
Really planning to get the 216GT. Looking at the metallic brown with sddle brown seats or black seats. WHat do you guys think of the colour. Please do add me to the whatsapp group. 90019330.
My experience for the benefit of others who may be contemplating 216GT:
I have been driving the Grand Scenic diesel for the past few years. When i test drove the 216GT along the expressway, i was so surprised to find the 216GT more smoother with more torque as well! The diesel clang you hear within the BMW; far less than what i got from the Grand Scenic. Yes, the Grand SCenic had cruise control and speed limit, but the safety features bought me over to BMW. I may sign one out soon. Just trying to work out a good deal for the contra of the two vehicles now.
Honestly, i am a frugal spender, but the safety and smoothness of this car with its safety features I believe is well worth it. The downside: like one of the comments i read somewhere, is that once you get this car, you may not want to drive any other! That's my first impression of this MPV.
So do add me to the whatsapp group and keep me updated on where to go for servicing, who to talk to and where to get the parts, etc etc

Re: 216d Grand Tourer
Just to add-on...
The road and wind noise seems to be higher in the 216GT thn in the Grand SCenic, but thats ok looking at the feel i get from the 216GT.
Also, since the 216GT is so smooth and powerful, there is a tendency of overspeeding even without noticing. So the speed limiter WILL be useful if used and set properly.
Grand Scenic in reality i get mostly about 800 - 860km on urban driving. Definitely more on long drives in the north. so FC in reality about avg 13km per l. I guess the 216GT is about the same for urban singapore driving?

anyways, will PML allow switching out the wood to the silver types for the interior panels?

Re: 216d Grand Tourer
any pictures? looking to get the sparkling brown as well....will the saddle brown seats look nice in this?
thankgod;1129231 said:for us, the choice was between a VW Sharan or this 216D-GT. decided on the 216D-GT because the drive isn't bad and its compact enough to zip around town. the sharan seems a little too clumsy in comparison. space wise, sharan wins but 90% of the time, we don't use more than 4 seats!
216D-GT Sparkling Brown with Dakota Black interior here ...

Re: 216d Grand Tourer
Went to test drive the car and was quite impressed by the inline 3 diesel turbo, especially with the sports mode... Tested other brands of diesel cars and didn't really like the throttle feel... SE is not pushy for the sales and didn't want to give anything extra... Maybe because I didn't bring cheque book along...
