    8:45 it is actually not bmw indias fault, beleive it or not its the geniuses at the indian military whenever they hear radar they hit the ban button , I read about this in the 2014 merc s class autocar review in their magazine , that time merc had launched a magic suspension which basically had a front facing radar that identified bumps in the road and adjusted the suspension automatically ,this feature wasnt made available in india becuase the military said NO. Here is an article supporting the same,
    I TRIED POSTING THE LINK BUT GOT BLOCKED IT WAS AN ARTICLE FROM MOTOROIDS

    Main takeaway- "However, it has now emerged that the India spec car will miss out on the Magic Body Control feature. The reason is pretty simple- that certain frequencies, which would have been used by the Magic Body Control, are reserved for use by the defense forces ONLY."

    I have been following your videos (tech reviews) for some time now and find your reviews quite useful. This was the first time I watched a video on this channel and I liked it too. A fun/casual video with loads of info that no one would cover in a typical review. Hats off.
    If I were to nitpick I would say that there were a few occassions where you were not letting your friend to finich his question/comment and was jumping into your views. It will be nice if you can watch out for this and improve in your upcoming videos.

    Nice review. One thing to highlight here is, for this price the ADAS features must be present and BMW should allow the users to enable or disable them. But the reality is, unless we have an advanced environment where everything is consistent eg, the traffic light, proper signs, no unnecessary barricades and road works, disciplined other vehicle drivers and pedestrians, the ADAD feature cant be used at all and will serve no puprpose. In XUV700, its a real bummer and Ranjith I would ask you to watch the on-road practical driving of XUV700 with these ADAS features enabled, its actually really really terrifying. For sure, it will bring in more discomfort and troubles while driving around with these ADAS features enabled.

    • @sentry0192

    Hello Ranjit,
    BMW India or any other Car manufacturing Company for that matter are not to be blamed for Not having ADAS based on Radar in India in the past especially
    In India, the spectrums of 24, 76 and 79 GHz were reserved and regulated by the Department of Telecommunications, restricting manufacturers from equipping their cars with these technologies hence this Omission in Technology
    The Ministry of Communications and IT delicensed only 76 GHz band

However I am missing the auto parallel park feature that is not on my BMW. We (Me, wife, Kids) all only buy Black cars, so yes, my c300, BMW 330i, Merc E350, all are black.

    Mine is a 2021 330i just looks like yours (not a M sport), But has a heads up display that shows directions, radio controls and stuff. Mine is Black so I do like the chrome on the kidney beans, same alloy wheels as yours. If you turn on your echo mode, the dials turn blue and right side dial shows Kmpg. I do like the BMW maps that come up in the middle as well as on the heads up display. It also has the ADAS - Auto collision breaking, lane keep control, vibrates the steering wheel, if your are going out of lane or if someone is in your blind spot. You can control if you want to hear the speed limit warning, which I disabled.

    Hi Ranjith, Please don't use Auto Hold with gearbox in Drive. It will heat the Torque convertor crazy. Though ZF8 with BMWs are reliable it will certainly reduce the life. For vv short duration like less than 5 sec stop its fine. Please don't use it when you need to stop for more than 5 seconds. And for DCT, this should be used only in N for DQ200 or better in general.
    Hope this helps, Thanks Sir.

    Hello Raniit, the main reason we are paying the most is because the total taxes we pay makes the car twice the price as how much the company receives per sale of the car, you payed 58 L company makes around 30 L and hence the ridiculous amounts of cost cutting, also the volumes of these cars sold in India is relatively very less, so perhaps, there are trying to extract more profit per car too.

    Excellent review of a day to day user. However, I think BMW has not offered the auto-braking, lane keep assist, etc because traffic discipline in India is nowhere close to what it is in Europe for example. I have heard of XUV 700 owners (a friend of mine included!) having turned off all these features because neither lane keep assist or collision assist is useful with the adhoc traffic flow we have. I am sure BMW has some 'method in their madness' for India. I completely agree with being short changed on the keyless entry. That is ridiculous!

    Best way to improve the ride comfort on a BMW is to get rid of the RFT tyres and put regular tubeless. Ofcourse this means that you need a space saver tyre that will eat up the boot space.
    You also have to be more careful of the alloy wheels that get bent easily with the RFT but not as easy with regular tubeless.

    i m planning to buy a car in 20 L range, would you suggest me considering a second hand luxury car in this price.. Also tell which would be more pocket friendly in servicing BMW/Merc/Audi..?

    Amazing brother. This video is just good because of your passion and enthusiasm 👏👌👍.
    I m krishna live in Chandigarh, currently own a XUV 700 petrol, and needless to say my dream car is 3 series and I really don’t know why.
    I need to stretch financially to own 3 series hence suggest me which one should i go.
