just got my new 320i for a week. it's not v powerful. any comment on e car?

Welcome, btw what car were U driving previously? I was driving the Civic FD 2.0 previously before I got the 320i. I also feel the 320i not v powerful also. It depends on your needs though. After driving it for the past 1.5yrs, gotten more or less used to it. More than adequate for Pt A to Pt B and sprints. Depends on how you play with the gears.
 
Re: 3 serires

it's a 2 litre NA engine lugging 1.6 tonnes... shouldnt expect too much out of it =P

but if u really wanna squeeze some power out of the car, there r a few options out there... i installed a few of them on my 320i as well. not recommended if u r concerned about keeping ur new car warranty with pml though...

Re: 3 serires

project started off as of 1 month ago... engine performance mods include:

hurricane air filter @ j4c
brisk lgs spark plugs @ j4c
ignition upgrade @ r2d
drop-in air scoop @ r2d

just installed a sebring twinpipe muffler today. i can confirm that there is a noticable loss in low end torque for a 2litre 4 pot engine =/ havent managed to run on traffic free roads yet though, so can't confirm if the improvement in mid-high end power is as good as others claim.

probably the last and most significant (legal) engine performance related mod that i have yet to do is to reflash my ecu...

Wow! Hi 5 bro! kekekeke I normally change my oil ard 5 to 7k km travelled outside. when it rches the set mileage in our system then i send inside pml to another service. I don leave it all the way till the indicator comes on, the oil will not be fresh liaoz.

Oh we don reset the mileage cos haven rch the official to be serviced mileage. So we change oil halfway thru, then when the indicator comes on, send to pml to service then they will do a reset ar.​
 
Re: 3 serires

apparently some bros have mentioned that as of this year, BMW has rescinded on their statement of changing oil only once every 25k. not sure what the new recommended interval is (can't remember if it was 10, 12, or 15k), but seems like most advocate changing once every 10k.
 
Re: 3 serires

servicing interval with PML is every 12k.....
