Whereas e90s and e60s are available for way more affordable prices. And hence even more likely for people to make mistakes while purchasing then. So it would be really helpful. Please do consider

The m340i has the b58 engine which is one of the best modern day engines combined with the zf 8hp it's a masterpiece of a car. Otherwise 320d or 530d you have featured in the channel. (G series only).

    Thank you guys. Being fellow mallu, have been watching your videos for long time and subscribed also now. A refreshing change to the established players like Autocar, Overdrive etc.
    Have a couple of queries regarding F30. 1) How is the backseat space and comfort. Is it comfortable for 3, is it comparable to X1 ?
    2) How is bootspace ? I think it does not come with spare tyre as it has RFT. If we include spare tyre do we have usable boot ?
    3) How does it compare to X1 ? I think it has same engine with a different gearbox.
    Hoping that you will do a similar video on X1 as well :)

    • @gokulraj8891
      @gokulraj8891 Před 10 měsíci

      Backseat is comfortable for 3. We did a 5 person journey from tvm to banglore and it was very enjoyable.
      If we include a spare tyre, bootspace will be very limited. What i keep is a puncture kit and a tyre inflator.
      Not sure about a comparison with X1, although this gearbox is hands down the best I've experienced. Smooth fast and responsive.

    Can you do a video about the maintenance of cars such as when to change the fluids when to change the brake pads, timing belt or chain, a/c filter, air filter ,fan belts, compressor, and all other things? My car's timing belt broken and i tried to start the engine many times without knowing the facts. Engine valves got damaged and i had changed all the 16 valves it hurts me a lot it cost me 40000 Rs which is 2000 dirhams. If i had changed on time it could have cost me only about 200 dhs which is only 4000 Rs. The mechanic told me that you should have changed the timing belt at least every 100000 kms while my car already done 420000 kms. I realize that no body will teach you such things and you have to learn by yourself. I hope you will do an episode on that.

    I own a 320i Xdrive 2015 model in US. The best part is driving dynamics worst part is plastic and rubber interior parts as you said. I see nobody talks about the subwoofer jarring sound which is really annoying when you stand outside. I told this to my service guys and they gave an answer that new cars also create the same jarring sound. :P :P :P
