Mike1234 1st Gear June 8, 2010 Share June 8, 2010 (edited) hopefully the new Kia K5 would have ventilative (heating and cooling) seats too (probably on their SX model).... Hyundai and Kia already have these features on their i45 and K5 and above sedans.... Ha,...I more interested in K7 ...

Mojoe Neutral Newbie June 8, 2010 Share June 8, 2010 For petrol head, it is definitely IL-6 or turbo IL-6. For 2L block, get a proper 2L block rather than a detuned 2L block. I have always praise BMW IL-4 juz looking at their WTCC results. What's the point of getting 318 other than the badge? Don't think TS cares about these based on the pros and cons listed, so a 318 "debadged" will be good enough... so many debadged 3-series anyway... can't tell If change exhaust to twin pipes even better, ppl may think it is 325 too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear June 8, 2010 Share June 8, 2010 honestly speaking.... teanas, accords and camrys are much more comfy than my w204 only they cant run. everytime i pass on a bump owww erh, the C-Class doesn't compete with the cars you mentioned above.... that's the job of the E-Class.... your C-Class (small-sedan) is theoretically a class below them (mid-sized sedan).... totally different point in both cars.... your C-Class build to handle and perform, E-Class, Teana's, Camry, Accord all for comfortable cruising....

Hungee Neutral Newbie June 9, 2010 Author Share June 9, 2010 C180 CGI is currently selling at $154,888 net, with $4,000 overtrade. If no car to trade in, have to pay the net price. This advice was given by C&C SE last sat. The quoted I gotten is with $6k overtrade + $4k servicing credit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear June 9, 2010 Share June 9, 2010 great deal on the $156k on the C180CGI.... but isn't Mercedes-Benz doing a free upgrade if one book a B200 to a C180CGI??? does the new C180CGI come with electric front passenger seat, keyless entry and ignition???

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear June 9, 2010 Share June 9, 2010 the C180CGI from C&C costs $163,888 - $9,000 = $154,888 nett with $4,000 servicing credits (5yrs) C200CGI costs $178,888 - $5,000 = $173,888 nett with $4,000 servicing credits (5yrs).... C200CGI comes with additional twin front electric memory seats, front and rear parking sensors (from German).... C&C only bring in the Avantgarde model for C-Class now.... no LED option.... seems like PI can offer a better deal leh.... plus can import C250CGI from them as well....

Blackseal 1st Gear June 9, 2010 Share June 9, 2010 huh??? are you sure all the 3-Series we have here are made in South Africa??? i thought only the 318i and 320i.... cos they have totally different engines from the Euro models.... our 318i has 136bhp and 320i 156bhp.... but those in the European countries are getting 145bhp for the 318i and 170bhp for the 320i.... the rest of the models have the same output though.... All sedans of 3 series except 318...made in south africa...all 3 series coupe made in Germany.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ferraricalifornia 1st Gear June 9, 2010 Share June 9, 2010 seems like most people are not bothered about their 3-series being made in South Africa.... as long as nothing cocks up, i guess the product has the same quality.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windchoco 1st Gear June 9, 2010 Share June 9, 2010 seems like most people are not bothered about their 3-series being made in South Africa.... as long as nothing cocks up, i guess the product has the same quality.... sounds like Toyota... savings not passed on to the consumer even though using cheaper production facility. But then for the blue propellor badge, I think many including myself can still accept it... lol :p Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Hypersonic June 9, 2010 Share June 9, 2010 (edited) They are bothered but there's not much alternative.. Rosslyn Plant Export program has been there since E46 3 series (pls correct me). It covers whole asia excluding China & India. Even Japan 3 series are sourced from South Africa. If 1 is willing to pay & wait, PML can indent from Munich/Regenberg. http://www.bmwarchiv.de/werke/ are the list of BMW plant globally. It does not include countries which has CKD/SKD assembly.
