Re: F30 316: reasonable ride? Any major/ common issues?

Dear all, am considering the f30 316 now, and will like advise fm current, ex owners. Thanks in advance.

Owned the 316 sport 4 mths. Ave 13.8km/lit so far. I like the intelligence
..eg computer just told me to do 1st service at 9k instead of 10k previously. Maybe freq start stop drives. Like ASS, kick boot, gear knob, front looks. Dislikes: no GPS, no rev cam, rear hump.

From a fan boy perspective, F30 316 is for badge whore.

1.6L TC is only meant for 1 series or Mini.

Wah Bro, don't see 1-series no ups ok! Mini... feel free to do so LOL.

I test drove on my friend's 316i before.

Not that bad. Decent pick up is there.

Perhaps if one would to always carry passengers on a full load basis, better to go with a 2.0liter I guess.

Re: F30 316: reasonable ride? Any major/ common issues?

Gentlemen - just drive and enjoy the car and ignore the FC on your computer !!! It is never accurate nevertheless !!!
