I'm sure you'll enjoy it, as I had one for a 60k stint for 2 years.

Lovely machine
.
ACS springs are a must for that model though …. I have them fitted to my current car & they will improve yours dramatically.

Congrats on the new car bud, is it an AUC? Does it have adaptive suspension? I have a 320i msport xdrive and to be honest I wish I had bought an S drive, the non adaptive suspension on these cars is, to be frank F*cking shocking and my car is currently in at Bmw AGAIN as the xdrive in the words of the service advisor is not Bmw’s Finest hour! Doesn’t matter what you do when changing gear the fucking thing just lurches and jerks :-(

Fingers crossed yours is better than mine mate

jharar · 07-24-2018, 03:04 PM

I'm not too sure if it's got Adaptive suspension..
Also not too sure if it's got electric folding mirrors or memory seats doesn't show on the spec list, I'm guessing it hasn't

First time I bought it on PCP..
Am I allowed to do modifications on the car..?

I'm sure I will enjoy my Harmon Kardon sound system.

I had exact same mechanical spec (F31/auto/320d/xdrive/non adaptive suspension) for 60k miles (some quite brisk miles) and it never faltered ….. As I said previously though, being xdrive, despite Msport spec it has SE suspension, which is a tad wallowy … ACS springs will sort that.

Even though I've changed to a 335d now, the 320d was fairly sprightly & I did enjoy it very much.

If you can get the VIN you can plug it in to one of these online decoders to see what features the car has.

Must admit, I went in to the dealership thinking I'd buy a 320d. Came out with a 328i then this forum happened and I'm in a 340i

Looking forward to the pics.

enjoy your new car

If it's not too late, avoid an xdrive, otherwise, or as others have recommended, definitely get the acs springs afterwards, which supply and fit direct from bmw is £620, and a much better upgrade than other this £620 will buy you.

Enjoy your new car 😊

jharar · 07-25-2018, 06:42 AM

I can't wait...

I forgot to ask the dealer if I am allowed to do any modifications..
I'm sure here someone got PCP...

How does it work..?

jharar · 07-25-2018, 06:43 AM

I will look at that option but , why AC Schnitzer others not good like ie... Eibach or H&R..

That's worth asking, but acs is bmw approved so more likely to be permitted.

Also, whilst eibach actually make the acs springs... They make them to the specs acs require who have extensive knowledge on bmw optimisations and will no doubt have tested all sorts of variables to create the best springs for 'problem'

Lol, to think just a few days ago I had no idea what acs was or even springs, but have picked up a lot of into thanks to the forum members here. The price also includes tracking which you should get on any bmw you get, and that, from bmw alone costs 180. Whilst kwik fit use the sane hunter system... (just guessing here)... xdrive set ups are not as standard, and so I'd personally rather get bmw to do it. Have read off horror stories of some back street garages completely messing it up, with bmw ultimately having to fix the ck up
