F30 now has long waiting list!

Re: F30 now has long waiting list!

If PI purchased at 30k less but can sell alongside PML pricing then it sounds like depreciation is lower for PI....Double win?
But as Jason8822 says, dealers give shit for the slightest. So i think PI route might have some leverage only if you sell it on your own.

yalor, just take a look at sgcarmart, resell PI car is priced alongside with PML car ...
it's about demand and supply and the model that appeal to the mass buyer
even so for high spec model ... make more sense for high spec car ... buy $30K-$40k cheaper and resell at similar price ... especially after 3 years where warranty is over
as long as omv, coe, age and milleage is similar ... pricing is more or less liao ...
the $30K-$40K diffference is profit margin for high spec car ... huat ah!!!

Corolla cannot have M/320/328/335 badge... but a debadge 316 with quad exhaust and upgraded CIC no one knows what it is, pump 92 petrol also can!

When only 1 of the exo is black, that's a giveaway.

When BMW pump RON 92, very likely to be stomp.

Other than the badge, what's so special about BMW?

Nowadays BMWs are about FC .... that's why the codename starts with F.
You have to experience the E coded models to know what makes a bmw the ultimate driving machine
The steering is soooo heavy by today's standard and the FC sucks...
But those who like it swears by it...
What's so special about BMW is difficult to describe by words.

If car is after 3yrs, why bother which dealer is it from ?
I will just ask the dealer to leave if dealer that says PI cars must be lower priced than AD car

Kudos. U get what i said. With those heavy steering, i could drive on NSH @ 150km/h & open a bottle of coke with 2 hands. That's what i miss a lot now. I m not sure whether i will go back to blue propeller with the development in F series. I really luv those heavy steering. It's manly.

Jus collected my F30 316 from PML, so happy tt my ride come without the 316 badge! Save me the effort to de-badge(jus kidding)... Was thinking maybe this will discourage other F30 owners to de-badge !!

You are right.
Though in reality there will be a price differential if the OMV is different. But that's in the older days where PI cars typically have a lower OMV. But nowadays PML's OMV also like crap.....

Btw I have owned both PML and PI's cars so I agree with you - really no difference. Be it within or after 3 years ha ha.

Congrats! I suppose you went for a white one? Haha. What colour seats did you choose?
Did you ask your SC to disable the Start/Stop function for you? Have to program that on your keys.

Some owners can still live with steering pulling to one side when they release their hand in F10 etc
If this happen in the older cars the driver will be like the crab with one pincer bigger than the other.
Get it right and the car rewards you back

Tip or Tips??

The cleaner tip
So that it will look like 328

Drive BMW 316 is not a disgrace.
Why have to debadge ?
You are better off than others....

In term of wheel alignment, there is no adjustment made on my previous E39 up to 100k km.

I m not sure whether it is twin or quad tip.

If you turn the steering when car is stationary, its very heavy.
At low speed, it feels manly/weighty.
At high speed, it gives you the confidence not many luxury cars can

Meek, like the above description on the steering part
