Re: Worth buying new F10 523 from PI?
Dear Seniors, currently am deciding whether to get a 523 from PML or PI, putting price aside, can advice whats the difference between this two 'seller' in terms of internal features.
i have check sgcarmart and seems like the exterior features is the same but did not mention anything with regards to the internal.
thanks!

Re: Worth buying new F10 523 from PI?
I was in the same situation with you and what you can do is to visit both PML and the various PIs and obtain an equipment list. If there are certain features you are unsure about you can post it here for us to discuss
For PI, i would recommend you to look for those with ex-stock so can verifty all the options before placing deposit. This is to avoid any potential dispute regarding any missing options. The options can vary among different PIs and different batches.

Re: Worth buying new F10 523 from PI?
Allow me to share my 2 cents worth...cos I bought my F10 fr PI recently..
1st: Price difference is a whopping $35K to $40K in saving...this will cover yr "assurance" or "insurance" thoughts..... let say after 2 to 3 yrs later, u suffer heavy $$ due to replacement of parts bcos of wear & tear and etc etc...and its not in the warranty booklet, then you have got the above savings to offset the $$ to be spent.
2nd: PML only gives Sun roof and paddleshift for 535...not in 523....but heard if u k wait & pay $$...k be arranged for those highline model..
3rd: Other features like M steering c/w paddle shift / soft closing/ rear & side blinds etc etc are already available in 523 from PI, for PML...must pay for such options and price goes up further...
4th: Like some bros said here...got BVO. BOSS, R2D and etc reliable workshops....what's there to be afraid?
Some of the bros here had seen my car....I know their siliva drool after comparing what they got from PML & the $$ paid....some got mislead by PML that F10 523 cannot be fixed up with M steering wheel that got paddleshift one....(mine come with it....factory installed)
At the end of the day, it's still yr call.....which way you want to go....words of advise...see yr budget plus if you like to mod or not....warranty always void when you mod this & that.....and once u decided....dont look back....juz enjoy n drive !!
Cheers!

Bro, reputable PI will be able to list down the installed equipment in detail, be it existing stock or incoming shipment, and you can compare against those from PML.
In the past, you will receive higher level of equipment from the PI but PML has increased their level since the March shipment...
So today, if you compare PML entry level against PI sunroof version(not the high spec version), the only trade-off is PML's Comfort Access & Through Load System against PI's Sunroof...(provided the PI's is equipped with Sport Steering with Paddle Shift and Dynamic Driving Control)
PI High spec come with additional Reverse Cam, Door Soft Closure, Rear Sun Bind and Comfort Access... some even throw in the Aluminum Brush Trimming...
If cost concern then go for PI basic... if not then PML entry level... for power, 535i...

Re: Worth buying new F10 523 from PI?
thanks bro darkknight,
Already booked 523 with PI yesterday evening, picking her up in end Oct.
Apart from the sunroof, most of the items are actually the same. price difference at abt 35k. by having some of the reliable w/s i think 35k is worth the keep.
