This 328 really good ride. And now I truly understand the feeling of C200/300/63 owners when I drive C180 last time...

Bro, 19" is out for 316i also. The power loss cannot justify.

Ya bro, sure power loss compared to 32x. 18" good enough for 316. But then if you are not a performance guy, can go for 19"

Actually, how much is the performance diff between 18" and 19"? Just curious, I know one is optimal but not sure if the diff is significant....

Re: New F30er reporting in.

My fren is a no performance guy also. Bt juz go 4 the look. Bmw=ultimate driving machine.

For F30 320i and 328i probably will not have much diff but F30 316i ... abit "chuan4" (Hokkien) leh. Pickup sure sluggish.

Also depends on what rims and tyres you going for. The 316 stock 17" rims/RFTs are also pretty heavy as well.

 

[Ah yang]

Re: New F30er reporting in.

In fact car alone is heavy already. In singapore speed nt impt lah. Look more impt. In a jam ppl wil look at ur chio car. Rather then drive a lambo n ppl wil said "c lah. Buy lambo bt still in a jam"

Disagree.

It depends on whether unsprung weight has been reduced or not. If the rim+tyre is heavier than stock, it will be sluggish. If not, there is no diff.

Anyway, who cares whether 316 sluggish or not, as long as it is BMW, definitely chio one.

Yes yes bro, agreed on the weight.

Just a sharing.
I am a person who would strike a balance of beauty and performance to the best possible ... haha but that is just me. Thus i would factor in the increase in circumference of the rims/tyres & tyre profile (staggered or non-staggered). Probably i am in sales, i need to travel frequently on the road, cannot tahan sluggish la.

No right or wrong theory on whether 18" or 19" is optimal but depends on individual's preference and lifestyle!

AND YES AS LONG AS IT IS BMW, DEFINITELY CHIO ONE.

Fold-out position of the wipers - Washer/wiper system - Driving - Controls - BMW X3 iDrive Owners Manual - BMW X3 | BMWManuals.org

Can any bros here share your personal experience with this? The F10 wipers also like that right?
Followed the instructions but after ignition off, the wipers cannot moved no matter how long I pressed on the wiper lever.
