I work for a dealership in Zambezi Pretoria.
My experience thus far: I bought an F30 320d MSport last year in May. So far I have spent R6k on the 80k-100k gearbox oil change. I did this at ZF - they make the gearbox for BMW for those that do not know - they are based in Edenvale Gauteng, interestingly the technician told me that they see high mileage F30's with 200 000 km plus going strong. I paid around 3k for a full service kit which was just parts which I got from BMW Midrand - got a BMW Fanatics Forum Discount hence price was very close to Goldwagen prices, I did the service myself but it is not expensive at a mechanic, estimate say around R2k if you not a DIY person. Front brakes cost me R3.2k for parts, pads, sensor and discs included, purchased from IMCOMEX in Pretoria, easy task so did it myself after watching a few UA-cam videos but got quotes for around R1k from various mechanics. Expected on going costs are annual oil service, overestimate at say around R2k in parts per year. I upgraded the BMW screen to carplay which I orded from Aliexpress, it even came with a aftermarket reverse camera, this camera replaces the existing boot lid handle, camera is built into handle. It looks factory and no one can even tell it is aftermarket, cost me 5k including shipping and taxes. Purchase price was R230k for a 2014 320d Msport with 120 000 km on the clock, private sale so I took a mechanic with me to view and test drive the car, a bargain for a vehicle which was more then double when launched. My girlfriend drives a 2019 Suziki Swift GLX which cost us around R200k brand new, you cannot even compare the value for money. The f30 is such a dream to drive. I budget yearly for unexpected costs, I am currently putting around R2k per month into an emergency fund. I can do this as the car is not financed. So far I have put 16 000km on this car. Drove it to DBN, Nelspruit and St Lucia. The car is reliable, safe and has plenty of power, best of all consumption is around 4.7 l/100km on the highway and 6.5l/100km mixed driving. There has been some unexpected small issues but nothing worthwhile mentioning. I would recommend an F30 diesel.
“Don’t skip the ads guys we need money for repairs” 😂
The next review should be: entry level new cars VS old flagship cars
Muzi, go back and buy that 320D at BMW Mbombela - Try negotiating to R400 000. That diesel can hit 300 000km easily without any issues. Remember that unreliable cars can also have a huge impact on our peace of mind (mentally, emotionally etc even in bed for argument's sake). 320i is a no no no.
“New car prices are basically like organised crime” - I couldn’t stop laughing 😂 but great video dude✨
Why do I get the feeling that you’ll end up buying a car with a questionable amount of mileage then end up having a wonderful experience with it to a point where people are convinced to get one as well.
Take care of your BMW and it will take care of you. Problem with 2nd hand beemers is that people tend to skip the expensive services & oil changes. These cars are so nice to drive. Looking forward to your journey.
Bought my 320D F30 2012 new 0km. Still rock solid to date. Coming to 340000KM on the clock. 1 full tank from Jozi to Cape Town easy. Service the car every 6 months. Trust when they say “Take care of the car, it will take care of you”.
Brother you should create a company and have agreements with used and brand new car dealerships, to provide a service to car buyers. Negotiate deals and get commission from every car sale. You are good at what you do, get paid for something you love.
"New car prices this days are just organized crime"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
I bought a 330d E90 new in 2007 and have done 386500km and still running strong. My average fuel consumption was 6 L/ 100km, from about 300k it increased slightly to 6.9 L / 100km till current. It’s an M57 tu2 engine and still stock no mods or tuning. Other than regular service the following was changed
Dude’s humour is on point 😂 keep it up g
If it's a F30 petrol pre-facelift, then make sure the timing chain guide rails were replaced. Diesel is considered to be the best option without much issues.
Bought a 2008 BMW 523i E60 in 2016 @ 118000km. It is now on 341000km and still going. I service the gearbox and diff every 100000km (ATF change) in addition to the regular engine service (every 12500km, my regime). BMWs are strong, just as long as you also service them. No ride for mahala.
New subscriber from Ireland. Solid contend and genuinely funny. The e46 6 cylinder petrol engines were the last true beemers in my opinion.
Also bear in mind that every 2 years new run flat tyres at a cost of around R20K, brake discs and pads at a cost of around R10K and normal service out of motorplan at a cost of around R6K. 320D is very friendly on fuel and the drive and performance very nyc.
wow this channel is getting better with each video this will be very interesting to see how it plays out 😁 i remember when at some point i wanted the 1 series as my first car so but it didnt happen i want to ssee what problems i avoided. keep delivering great and interesting content
I own a 320I (F30)for 11 years now with about 280 000km on the clock. I've been servicing it myself right after the maintenance plan and I've no major issues to complain about.
The 318 has a 3 cylinder engine, rather get a Gen 1 Yaris, some of the common issues are; increased oil consumption, vanos issues and overheating. With 3 cylinders, the engine is also not harmoniously balanced, therefore the car is generally being driven at higher rpm, you would need put your foot and a brick down to get it going.
