Re: New Addition
Cos a few days after I booked my car, went to see IS250 and C-Class, then quite like the IS250, so decided on the IS250, very fickle minded la, ding dong here and there, a few weeks passed then finally confirmed on the Bimmer bro.

Re: New Addition
You mean onces you booked the car, they allow you to cancel the car meh?
IS250 was not even on my shopping list.. while you get a bigger and quieter engine, i don't really find that translate to a wuicker drive. Which leads me to think, perhaps the power lost in the transmission is rather high.
I was decided on the C class actually.. but my wife, who drives the car most often didn't like it at all... she prefers a beamer... so i guess a 320 it is... come to think of it... i should have cough up the 14k more and get the 323 at least... after one month, i do find that the 320 is abit "subdue" in its pick up. Acceleration on the move is ok though...
Overall, i think the beamer's handling is still one of the best i have tried... The only other car that i think the handling is sweeter than the 3 series is the TT coupe, the TT drives almost like a gokart... sharp turning very little over/under steer and body roll...
And nope... i have not had the chance to drive any super cars... so not comparing to those...

Re: New Addition
The IS250 is very heavy at 1.6++ tons. That's where all the power went. The IS250 shares the platform with the GS class, therefore, it is heavy. The 3-series is slightly lighter - bespoke chassis. The transmission on the IS250 is competitive with the 3-series transmission save the 335i trans ... which is godly.
In the same class of car, the C-class with adaptative suspension (advanced dynamics package I think) handles significantly flatter and better than the 3-series. This is an option. But not too expensive - S$5K i think.

Re: New Addition

Re: New Addition
good thing you carried on with your purchase, othewise, 1k goes to SE as kopi money...if i'm not wrong, SE can help reserve colour for about 2 wks, or at least that was what happened to me with mine, without forking out any deposit.
so now counting down to the remaining hours before u have her this evening...hahaha
