The Automobile Thread

I dislike the F30. Bimmer's move towards a more mass-market, softer car, that stupid steering wheel, and reduced resale value make it a big no, no for me. And it doesn't help that it looks like an Angry Bird.

Despite all the e90 talk among the bimmer faithful, the f30 is faster and handles just as well while drinking less fuel and being larger. Though the angry birds criticism is common, I like how they took the soft looks of the previous model and threw in a slight bit of Mustang to the side profile.

 

And yes, way too much Merc love in this thread :P

Which BMW did you end up with? Please say it was a 530d! I think it's one of the best all round cars in India.

 

 

 

Yup

 

 

And while we are discussing merc. Did you try the recently launched R class? The car is pure disgrace to mercedes imo, it never should have seen the light in india.

R Class was dead on Arrival since day one, when it launched back in 2005 NY Auto Show, Honestly it started as a wonderful concept GST in the early 2000's but tricked down with loads of delay, and a pathetic CEO, and a bad merger and blah blah, good news is it no more will exist :)

 

And about the 530d, Any mods done / planned?

We did remapping and did some other tweaking but after 2 months the bmw service people changed face and started bullshit on cutting warranty. So removed everything till we go till 60k kms. (50+ now). But the base is a amazing enough.
