Re: BMW’s Newest 3 Series Launched in Singapore
I test drove the F30 328i Luxury line. The exterior and interior is very much better than E90. However, I don't know is it just me but I kinna feel that the engine sound is louder in the cabin for this inline-4 2 liter compared to my current E90 inline-6 325i. Anybody can share?

Re: BMW’s Newest 3 Series Launched in Singapore
I just went to PML during lunch to take a look at the F30. I have the 2011 model E90 320i with iDrive and sunroof so I am comparing on pretty similar grounds.
Other than the new N20 engine which is really powerful, I think the F30 is nothing much really... the price is a little high IMHO.
Exterior design - yes, improved. But E90 looks good to me... or at least, after looking at my depreciation, I think mine lagi chio...
Interior design - not a fan of it. I find the leather not tightly fitted and the grains even coarser than the leather in my E90. The rear door panel really feels plastic - just go try knocking on it; it has a hollow sound. The center console doesn't even have a sliding armrest and the plastic latch looks flimsy.
More spacious at the back? I don't think it's really a big difference. Slightly more space - it seems negligible. If you need space, you wouldn't be looking at the 3er.
So my own opinion - for that kind of price, I'd rather buy F10!
What I like:
- N20 engine is really powerful
- iDrive + Nav now comes standard
- Dashboard is more informative and has temperature gauge
- Steering wheel now extends further (I have long legs)
- Front seats are a little wider making it more comfortable
What I don't like:
- The 4 pot is noisier and not smooth like butter - that's true!
- Interior fit and finish is noticeably poorer than outgoing E90 - leather is "loose" and door panels are plasticky. I'd love to see how this stands the test of time parking under the singapore sun.
- Steering wheel too bulky and not as elegant as E90 sports steering (again, my personal opinion) (edit: i do like the F30 sports steering though!)
- Tyres are now bigger and hence more expensive
- iDrive screen now exposed to direct sunlight makes it harder to see
My 2 cents.

Re: BMW’s Newest 3 Series Launched in Singapore
It feels much bigger than the old 3? no? or issit my imagination. It only seems slightly smaller than new 5 at the back. On the front passenger seat, the new 3 is more comfortable/spacious that 5.
only bone to pick about the car....... the tag for a 3. If not it should be perfect for a vehicle in its class
