Mercury1 Turbocharged June 14, 2015 Share June 14, 2015 6.3K for the 4 series or 3 series? When I bought my 328i it was thrown in free heh sebei heng cause shortly after Pml had another category under 328 M Sport. For the 4GC can see why it's good to have that cause the boot lid is quite long and extends quite high. But 3 series not need lah a good slam would do the job M-Sports Line need to add another $6.3K. And 328i no motorised tailgate. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury1 Turbocharged June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Haha that's prob the reason for the markup Yeah most 3er's are made in RSA, my 3er was made in Deutschland but still creaks like a rocking chair. 4GC made in Deutschland , 3er made in RSA Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BMW's panel gap is larger than Merc and Audi's , whether between steel/aluminium body panel or interior plastic dash or door panels ... the friction between plastics are causing creaking noise. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
E60F30 Neutral Newbie June 24, 2015 Share June 24, 2015 Don't know why is there a stigma associated with SA factories. Typical Singaporean thinking. Very narrow minded. SA factory actually produces more reliable cars. http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/best-bmws-arent-built-germany#ixzz3ddtQJMwD Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SA factory actually produces more reliable cars. http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/best-bmws-arent-built-germany#ixzz3ddtQJMwD because BMW or Merc in Singapore cost 4 times more than they cost in US. The article specifically mentioned US spec 3 series made in specific factory in RSA has less fault per 100 cars than some specific German built BMWs. Does not mean RHD Singapore bound RSA built BMWs are the same. There is no smoke without fire. Just look at the W205 (all Singapore bound cars are built in RSA) and compare it against W204 (German built). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

redstuff 4th Gear September 14, 2016 Share September 14, 2016 Just saw from LTA published data on car cost of cars registered in August ... there was a total of six 420i Gran Coupe and three 430i Gran Coupe registered ... much more than the total number of 3 and 5 series combined! Was there a "lay-long" sale that I missed?? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelyaligned 1st Gear September 17, 2016 Share September 17, 2016 Omg was there a lelong sale? 4 series is my dream car for now, aesthetically it just looks very pleasing 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spring Moderator September 18, 2016 Share September 18, 2016 I think a facelift just arrived n also the introduction of the 440M GC. So there was a gap when no 4 series GC were available so perhaps this was those early bird who booked the facelift n thus got it registered once it arrived?? 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
