BMW X1 clearance at $160K!

At current Cat B COE level, the basic car cost from LTA website (OMV + GST + Duty + ARF + COE) is already $180K.

Quick glance thru SGCM shows dealers listing at $170K+ for 1-mth old car. 

No brainer to get a brand new one from PML at $160K.

Less than 50units left as I just went down for test drive only heh heh

@Wt_know 

hi there Is VW golf 1.5L mild Hybrid same engine as Audi/Octavia entry level 1.5 MH as well?

Expand  

golf/leon/octavia/a3 (all engine provided by VW) is 1.5L with 4 cyclinders (not 3cyc) and boost with mild hybrid 48v battery [thumbsup]  

a good match engine for a small hatch except for octavia which is a sedan

that’s why most youtube reviewer does not like it on octavia unless it’s a 2L engine which is same as GTI engine … [laugh]

hey all!

well, i cannot answer this question from a engineering POV since im not an engineer, but so far my 3 cycinder 216i GT has never gave me any problems. In fact, i did not really hear any idle vibration issues from my X1/216 frens owners. I believe BMW's 3-cylinder B38 engine has won numerous international awards, for being frugal yet quick off the mark

 https://www.autoevolution.com/news/bmws-3-cylinder-b38-engine-wins-wards-10-best-engines-award-90186.html

regarding the age-old question of whether its powerful enough, hmm how much power is enough? If I drive a Ferrari, for sure i will think 7series not enough. If i drive a 7series, of cuz i will think C-class not powerful enough. you know where this is going. 🙂

my previous cars are Hyundai 2.0 tucson, Nissan qashqai 1.2T, and current BMW 216i GT. and my butt feel tells me that the X1's 138hp/220hm Torque, 9.2s century sprint, performs way better than all my previous rides. Not to mention BMW's legendary handling and interior.

I figured if all sporeans are concerned with bhp/torque/century sprint, then our roads will be full of Kia Stingers and Skodas haha..

oh! and "small" models like the 216 and X1 makes up bulk of BMW's sales in SG. So while i cannot confirm, but i believe most Sporeans are satisfied with the matured 3-cyclinder tech 🙂

Agree. From another angle, people who came from jap brand will almost always complain about conti's reliability. Once one can adjusts its expectations, bimmer will reward owner with the drive. 

I am fortunate to own and driven a couple of cars from 5 brands thru the years, from jap to korean to Italian to german, inclusive of current 3 cylinder. It is not the smoothest engine (compared to 4) but it is nothing that bad either. In fact, I am very happy with it. So give me a choice of say a jap vs a 3 cyn bimmer, yes, bimmer pls. 😊
