[@drona311]

rear parking camera...matters...especially when you paying such amounts!

[@balsara675]

valet parking dude

[@mobarakhussain8888]

yup a 12 lakh creta gets a rear view camera and not this

[@sunilvarmadatla]

+Drona Panchal Rear view Camera is available but its optional.

[@drona311]

sunil varma datla Bro that optional part is what I am talkin about! Shouldnt be

[@chadmagnifici2347]

+mobarak hussain Creta is not BMW.

[@sanjaayanandhgopal2840]

This is my car now bought it via Bmw Manufacturimg plant😃 It’s an amazing thing

[@shadyguy6600]

heads display but no reverse camera ? these germans are crazy !

[@UvanSankar]

More practical and Stylish...This one.. The MSport is ballistic ..

[@smitadesai3520]

How much will the bixenon leds with drls cost for the front and the taillight on the car in the vid

[@shankaryuva5863]

No rear view camera? It must have for this price segment..even 8 lakhs rupees cars have camera ...nowadays BMW is constantly hit Indian market but lacks in improving their standards..

[@karambirr06]

i am in love with this car..

[@rajestate4364]

Bro, can’t we change this alloy wheel with different design and leather seat too? But without any extra cost!!

[@maheshy1]

Your voiceovers are the best.

[@prabhatsuneer4408]

awesome in white

[@karanmagdum90]

wht abt the alloys? do they come standard on this M Variant ?? or do we need to pay extra

[@harjotsingh6275]

The car is more beautiful than before, it has more sportier look. It's cheaper than the XE. I have seen both XE review but it's better. Still confused, looking forward for the comparision of XE and BMW

[@thesagarmahapatra]

XE is more unique and would turn more heads as Jaguars are not as common as Beemers. W

[@AcidMayo27]

If you are a true enthusiast and like driving fast (assuming you will) then both are good. The 340i and XE S that is...

[@divyeshpatel3308]

More beautiful than before? Dude I can't even feel he was driving just go to top gear you will know what cars are made for real. And don't forget people still love e30 and e46 m more than this one. I would rather go for e46m3 rather than this one. Top of that previous cars of m3 was manual this isn't.

[@AcidMayo27]

You're mistaken man. I appreciate that you like manuals like a true man would, but almost all cars made my BMW (especially M cars) offer a manual transmission as standard, including the M3. I guess India doesn't get one due to the dominance of Automatics. Same reason why the Mustang is only offering an Auto for India... ;_;

[@thesagarmahapatra]

Abdurrahman Ansari So Jaa Bhai

[@500BHP]

reverse cameras are for the bad drivers. rear parking sensors and good driving skills remove the need of any reverse camera. my 320d doesn't have a reverse camera and every time i reverse park, sensors do the job. driving is a skill.

[@GeekyLawyer]

why dont you show the turned on headlamps , so it can give a idea of changes made in new version.

[@saideepps2920]

Checking reviews guess we'll buy it

[@saideepps2920]

In test drive handling was great though

[@daniyaljamil]

What is your take on the run-flats combined with 18inch rims for Indian Roads?

[@prabhatsuneer4408]

Super Stylish attractive car and best for youngsters. My Favourite but surprised to know it doesn't have rear cam, Little disappointing. Other than this it's most desirable.

[@rinimelvin7460]

One day I will buy this car..

[@prabhatsuneer4408]

rini melvin I have the same thought as you do

[@Rockguy29]

Give dates and year..what's the point of saying latest etc

[@hitsii_0077]

What the hell no reverse camera 😱

[@dhiman1021]

Thats optional

[@krty132]

+Cars Life nope. Doesn't come in the Indian market

[@rohansingh9040]

+Autocar India well i think 3 series it self the king in this segment world wide not C class

[@sunilvarmadatla]

+Rohan Singh Agree. Reviewers from other countries always consider BMW as bench mark as it is king in handling.

[@sanghapriyabhalerao8101]

they arw biased towards Mercedes. Even in the case of the 5 series, the world considers it the king of the segment where as they think E class is the best.

[@nastyscorp]

+sunil varma datla yes they do, but it may left you thinking BMW has made the more dynamic car sorry, Jaguar does that !!

[@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighter]

Eww. E-class is a whale.

[@creativeplanet2820]

Cheeki Breeki lol

[@VroomGaur]

when will you be doing a comprehensive review of M sport version?

[@mohammadchadorhani1839]

Awesome car ,I've one of it

[@arkabhattacharyya6200]

One quetion... Is it good for long 1000 KM ride ?

[@TheCeki1982]

The answer is yes. I drive a 320D F31 touring and the car and driving is clean and superb. No matter how long the ride.

[@arkabhattacharyya6200]

thanks a lot :)

[@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighter]

By all means. Chennai to Lucknow in a 2012 F30. Worth it. 3 days and about 2000KM. Was a passenger for majority of the time. Drove for only about 5-6 hours.

[@akashmahajan3150]

Cheeki Breeki Did you play harbass in it?

[@duautobots55]

please do a 330i as well.

[@lokeshpatel531]

I love this care

[@ThatGuy-dy5bl]

man these cars are at 1/2 the prices elsewhere in world why they charge so much here

[@heavydriverfactory6247]

What is price

[@rangarajalingam7890]

My car is bmw 320d msport same colour

[@shwetabhism]

Coolest review !

[@sartek69]

Nice car

[@sweettruth8039]

bmw is best in the segment.. mercedes is made for old buisness man

[@sreejithchandran2180]

haha not anymore

[@saicharan444]

I think the last time you saw or drove mercedes was in 2005

[@rajestate4364]

Ya agreed, BMW is for young tycoon Business Man!!😎😎

[@Gamergodxxxx]

Jaguar xf slays this category

[@rangarajalingam7890]

Super

[@balsara675]

sweet

[@le301-rakeshkumar9]

nothing to say i am a BMW lover

[@nazaarmohamed8131]

No reverse camera???????😲Even a reasonable car like Baleno gets reverse camera!!!

[@nazaarmohamed8131]

+Cars Life hmm.....but paying so much for a car like this, u expect some features which r also present in some very cheap compact hatches.

[@patrich9356]

So its an automatic???😒

[@XZCqz]

this is prolly the first and last coment in 2024

[@Niju06]

What's the point? Your roads are all very bad. How can you enjoy the car for what it was meant to do?

[@ninadlohar103]

mercedes c and e class looks ugly, bmw has more aggressive look,, but why are 3 series interior seats so ugly

[@lokeshpatel531]

Mast he par mehngi bhot he yarrr

[@RanjitKumar-sm8bs]

how many of u noticed this car is Tamil nadu

[@force9930]

Even cheaper cars such as sub 10 lake cars have rear view camera a car which top most variant of BMW M3 and it is over 30 lake does not have rear view camera is humiliating nobody will buy this car if it does not have BMW badge

[@mastercsaravind]

m3 costs 1.3+cr. and is petrol .this is m sport version meaning only bumper steering and aesthetics are added. 😂😂lol at your knowledge

[@sunilvarmadatla]

+Shauryavratt Kapoor Since Indian roads are not great, you don't get chance to check real potential of these cars. American and European car review channels consider BMW as benchmark for handling and Power. Just like other Luxury cars, rear view camera is optional. This is not BMW M3.

[@chethankille1820]

This variant with M badge doesn't mean any performance upgrades just cosmetic changes.

[@Srankillerttt]

who like this car?????

[@gorangvashishth8657]

The exhaust disgusts me

[@sushanthreddy4610]

it is better than my jaguar xf

[@siddhantsabharwal]

I would still buy the C class

[@sunilisgodd]

if u had the money.keep driving ur i10

[@siddhantsabharwal]

+Reath Main I actully have the i20 😂

[@CTE-6000EagleVeryHeavyFighter]

Take C class if you prefer being driven by a chauffeur. Take 3 series or A4 if you drive by yourself most of the time.

[@zanthony1286]

I'll buy KIA Cerato over the C Class

[@epicab2092]

Siddhant Sabharwal nobody cares what you would buy

[@ninadlohar103]

the 18’ inch tyres turns me on

[@kuldip2310]

C class C class C class C class C class C class C class
