congrats, I drive the same model and year bmw diesel. It's clocked 80000 miles and still goes smooth like butter. I spend 15000 for service every 10k kms.

[@JRSCars]

That’s awesome buddy! Thank you!

[@santhoshyoganand]

How much would the engine oil, consumables and labour costs ? Can you pls break up the 15k bill ?

[@yusufrazi8580]

@santhoshyoganand service is very much affordable on these generation infact on any of the BMWs provided a little time is given on OEM parts. An airfilter from Mahale or Mann will cost around 2200 fuel filter from original BMW will cost 1650 or if u choose Mahale/Mann will cost 1400 cabin filter from Mahale/Mann 2300 fully synthetic engine oil from Mobil 1 will cost 4500-5000. if you plan to change disel filter which is supposed to be changed on every 3 service that will cost for 3500-3800 labour charge will be additional 1500.

Awesome video brother 😎 waiting for video on new car in garage 🎉

Definitely bro, coming soon😃

[@dude_in_yellow3796]

Congrats on the upgrade btw! The best upgrade from Skoda for sure 😃😃

[@JRSCars]

Thanks again bro😃

Congrats thambi

Congratulations on the purchase 🎉

[@JRSCars]

Thanks bro!

[@dude_in_yellow3796]

Excellent review brother! Eagerly waiting for the comparison between your friends Virtus GT and your 320d. Please make it soon and also include the build quality, fit and finish apart from performance and efficiency bro

[@JRSCars]

Definitely! Unfortunately that car was mildly flooded, he is also waiting to get it back. Will film and upload as soon as it is back

[@blacksparrow1818]

amazing car you got there, any plans of remapping this one, as it can squeeze out 230-240hp pretty easily with just an ecu flash.

[@JRSCars]

Thanks man! Haha, yes, a remap is planned down the line - but in all honesty it’s plenty powerful enough for our roads 😃

[@MrVickyfz16]

music to my ears ! the perfect drivers car... one Q ... have u checked the carbon deposits in the engine, Cam etc ? i have seen few Bmwer with such issues.

[@JRSCars]

Hey man! Thank you! In my case, I have not checked it physically but since the car has been maintained only at bmw and both myself and the previous owner fuel up only at either Shell/CoCo BP outlets - the deposits should not be much… A simple way to check is with the performance of the vehicle - if it performs as close to the company claimed performance figures (0-100 time, etc.,) then all is well 😃

[@captainhugo206]

Nice driving bro🎉

[@JRSCars]

❤️

[@forgrowth9586]

Looks like a very good car...congrats 😊

Thank you! 👍

8:38 Awesome driving bro! BMW is BMW for sure! Anyday better than Merc or Audi

[@JRSCars]

Thanks so much bro😄

[@aadityasrivastava6887]

Great video, man! On a side note, would you prefer the f30 320d or an e90 320d from, let’s say 2011 as a used one right now?

[@JRSCars]

Thanks buddy! This is an interesting one, let me try and break it down from my perspective - having owned the f30 for almost a year now & having driven an e90 a couple of times. E90 pros: Excellent handling Raw feel on power delivery Cheaper to buy (than f30) but maintenance is same Cons: Rear seat space is abysmal Ride comfort is harsh Heavy steering at city speeds It’s pretty old now - so finding a neat and clean car is difficult F30 Pros: More modern More rounded - great balance of performance, handling and comfort Cons: Purists say it’s become soft and imho it offers 80% of the E90’s handling Rear seat space is average (but better than e90) I’d prefer the F30 any day

[@aadityasrivastava6887]

@@JRSCars that’s a solid breakdown. I’ve driven the f30 and loved it but not an e90 yet. I do have an e90 in sight too and it seems to be in a very clean condition so might go to check it out as well and that should give me a hands on comparison. Also what’s the odo reading on your f30? I’ve read that the n47 engine has serious timing chain problems that come around 1 lakh kms and it costs quite a lot to replace it. I was almost about to buy the f30 but since it’s a 2012 and driven 83k kms already I’m afraid the maintenance is going to be on a much higher side. Cheers, man!

[@BluBoi236]

Best review of the f30 3 series As owner of both f30 and new g20 I can confirm the build quality and material feel is much much better in f30 than g20 But performance of g20 is better Can't have both unfortunately Used f30 is best bang for buck and best option than f10 also. Back seat also f10 is not that much better than f30! Nice review again brother 👍

[@JRSCars]

Yes buddy. Also imho, only 530d is worth considering, not the 520d - but for India and daily use - nothing beats a 320d

[@ankush4572]

Get a stage 1 tune. Would love to see more from this car

[@JRSCars]

Yes buddy, that’s the plan But first - my friend has a stock Octy 1.8 TSI and I’m in the process of convincing him for a diesel vs petrol and rwd vs fwd duel which he is not accepting too😂

[@4wd_and_riffs]

Great review, bro! Small correction. 320d is a fantastic car, but the 330i of both this generation (F30) and next one (G20) will walk the 320d. Of course, mileage would be horrible too, compared to 320d.

[@JRSCars]

Thanks bro! Totally agree, 330i is on a different level The 320d is perfect for India though - best combination of power and efficiency

[@tamilthatha007]

9:00 Super driving thambi! Vande summa parakadhu

[@JRSCars]

Thanks tamilthatha!

[@abinashd29]

Also, for service do you prefer servicing the car in the showroom or third party service centre?

[@JRSCars]

So far i have done one service at the dealership, and service has been great but pricey. Third party I’m sure will do a great job too, but I want to maintain the service records

[@captainhugo206]

Very nice car also. Good upgrade. Skoda will be missed though...

[@JRSCars]

Thanks bro, yes true

[@AnupPrabhu007]

What is your opinion on 2012 F10 530d which is avaliable for pretty good price nowadays.

[@JRSCars]

Great option for sure - but there are a few things to consider 1. Maintenance and Spares are expensive 2. Technology wise - outdated in 2024 3. Buy it only if you have another smaller reliable car at home - if any major repairs are needed - you aren’t left without a car And also the 5 is pretty big for daily office use in city traffic, imho, it’s best for highway cruising

[@JRSCars]

I too was looking for a 530d first, but apart from straight line speed, they aren’t that much better than the 3. The 3 ticks all the right boxes for India - especially the performance and efficiency departments

[@AnupPrabhu007]

Thanks for your valuable insights

[@JRSCars]

Anytime buddy👍

[@forgrowth9586]

Good logic 😊

[@filmzography449]

Do you still miss the Skoda bro? Is this car better in every aspect or do you feel something missing?

[@JRSCars]

Yes, to be honest I do. The Laura was built like a tank and had a go-anywhere feel. With the 3, you do have to be more careful on bad roads and a bit more cautious in general

[@rc__beast100]

Can a stage 2 Skoda Laura compete against your 320d? and Win?

[@JRSCars]

Good question - in a drag race 320d will win for sure, as RWD traction is superior However, a rolling race will be very close and almost equal I feel

[@BluBoi236]

Pls review new x5 bro. I am interested

[@JRSCars]

Sure bro👍
