Turbocharged

Depends on what u r comparing with isnt it? 1.5 3c turbo vs 2l turbo... Or even 2L 4c.. If u compare with Orlando then ur pathetic GT is like a rolls

 

Oh well bmw owners... Better keep my mouth shut.. Cant take criticism

 

i have no issues about criticism.

i'm not even 'owner'. I just lease for a few years.  [laugh] 

 

i mean its a subjective comment. I take it you've not taken it up and down nsh? because out of breath is not how i would describe its acceleration there. maybe its the diesel, maybe the turbo, but i find i could keep up with the mad right-lane-hogging hazard-light-blinking full-tint MY contis there. [drivingcar]

collected last friday.... car has enuf torque even for highway. Just need to press accelerator. I went past 110km/hr mark a few times bec it doesnt feel like it is that fast....  [laugh]  Anyway this is an AT for my wife. It also sits like any compact SUV so that is certainly a plus factor for me.

Not forgetting also need ///M sports suspension and ///M performance brake.

 

Yup there is M-suspension as well..... the front bumper will also be costly. I think just change to the same shoes in the pix will do.

Your 5A sounds like sumo wrestler.

 

I believe factory has ///M sports pack.

 

Look at the photo posted. I believe that's how factory ///M sports looks.

From some of the pix, the gap is tolerable. This is the facelift with 18" rims

How does it looks with more aggressive ///M sports bumper?

 

Looks is subjective. Don't install M sports bumper then think the gap CMI.

I actually experienced the opposite.  When I stepped on the brake, there is a increased vibration midway from the 1st instance I stepped to the full stop.  I find it very irritating.  I was thinking of making an appointment with BMW.

 

Anyone else has this observation?  

 

Another thing I find is the there is a lot of plastic clicking sounds I turned on the car and aircon when the car interior is warm.  I suspect it is the contraction of the plastic.  Anyone has this observation as well?

 

I have been driving my GT for 1 month plus. I recently experience some plastic clicking sounds (on and off) near the driver door area during low speed and when ride is bumpy. Not sure why and quite disappointed as the car is still new. Will monitor and send in to PML for check if it gets worse.Hope they can fix it.
