They haven't even launched it yet. They brought in one 316i for test drive only. Go down for test drive bro, think there's gonna be a long queue for test drive when its officially launched. Had to wait nearly an hour that day for test drive.

And we wonder why COE prices are skyrocketing.
Come on fellas, don't do it. It is insane to pay $200k+ for a bread-and-butter BMW, seriously. Waiting an hour for a test drive is nuts. It's like queueing up outside Louis Vuitton to buy an overpriced bag that everyone else already owns - where's the fun in that?

Re: F30 316i Opens for Booking Soon at PML
I beg to differ.
I think I just want the badge and all the first class comfort the F30 can offer. Yes, if have 1.4 L I will get the 1.4 L version. Still a BMW with badge/pedigree and I can talk about RWD and the marvels of BMW engineering at the meetups. Sart.
Plus, my wisdom told me that COE will be 100K soon. By then I can trade out my 316 at a profit.

Honestly, for ppl aspire to own a BMW 3 series, they should buy 316. It is like to source from Munich/Regenberg. Rosslyn don't produce 316.
I am a poor man who can't even aspire to own a $200k F30 316. Had driven E39 520 close to 4 yrs, i would not drive another BMW unless it is a IL6. Not even 1L QUAD turbo.

Re: F30 316i Opens for Booking Soon at PML
There's nothing wrong with the 3 Series (F30 quality-control issues aside!). I bought a used E46 as my first BMW 8)
A small engine is fine too if it kicks out decent power with some fancy technology. But the question is: what price? Is an entry-level 3 Series saloon the best you can do with a $200k+ budget? Are used cars not worth a second look? Is $90k COE really the new $30k?
That one-hour wait for a test drive... do you need that car more than the dealership needs you?

Re: F30 316i Opens for Booking Soon at PML
I agree with you. I booked the MSport version for my wife. We both drove the car and pretty decent performance compared to the mk6 gti we traded in. Our first Bimmer and we can't wait to get it though I won't be driving it. I like the Made in Germany 316i as the bigger brother is made in SA. Not implying that SA is not good but for the "bread n butter car", I was surprised it came from Germany. They also spec it much better than the similar priced C class.
