BMW 1 series

[Karu]

Yeah, and the 116i shares the same turbo-charged engine as Mini Cooper-S

An RWD Mini?

 

That's one of the selling point touted by PM... Rear wheel drive, more fun to drive!

Nope, no RWD Mini.

I think is gonna be a FWD BMW

You don't get it, do ya?

An RWD BMW 116i with the Mini Cooper-S' 1.6 TC engine = an RWD Mini!!

Just got a write up of BMW 1 series

 

[Loveisallaround]

Cabrio is nice.

I think thread starter is referring to the new 1 series....

[Leostar30]

Hi,

 

i just booked the new BMW 1 Series, 116i. Basically, I was having a hard time deciding on Volkswagen Golf Match or the BMW 116i.

 

After much deliberation with my family and with the over-trade by BMW, we finally chose BMW.

 

How I made the decision:

 

Volkswagen BMW 116i

Capacity 1.4 1.6

OMV 23K 27K

Maint 3 yrs free $1k voucher

Finance $2k for loan exceed $100k $3k for using in-house loan

overtrade cost $0 $7K

Bidding 4 bids guarantee 1 bid guarantee

 

From above, you can see why I go for the BMW.

 

For sharing.

 

[Kangadrool]

Yup, 1-series for RWD and less problematic GB.

[SimonTan]

Entry BMW.....hope to get one when my jazz Coe is up.

Always envy BMW drivers....enjoying the ultimate driving machine. Pleasure!

Good luck on your buy. Be prepare to top up engine oil regularly and replacing oil leaking gasket every 2-3 years.

The only reasons ppl go for BMW are:

1. RWD; &

2. 50-50 weight split.

 

The only reasons ppl go for 1 series is it is a pocket rocket.

 

BMW needs a lot of TLC if you intend to keep it for long.

By the time your Jazz COE is up, COE price could be $100k [laugh]

can u share wat price was the 116 vs match ?

Small issue lah. Not expensive. Small price to pay for a great car.

 

Oil seepage after 2-3 years is quite common for cars in general. A natural material like rubber naturally deteriorates after time and constant heat/humidity. Maybe Japanese cars take 4 or 5 years to have oil leak but still, small price to pay.

That joker is the type that will put off buying a home to stay in, hoping that prices will crash, and betting against the market. Brave but ultimately will die.

most workshop told me parts are on the high side n prepare to pay if its past 3 years , the parts breakdown is rediculous

hi there, mind sharing the final purchase price after whatever discount & overtrade? TIA.

 

i think now should wait for merc a class! should be next best seller if priced competitively against bmw 1-er & audi a1.

[Rayoflight]

just went to test drive the 116i just now..

 

net price after 8k disc is 163,800.

 

well..any thoughts?

 

basically there are quite a number of respectable cars at this price tag.

I chose the mini over 1er.
