Tell me about 320d

[Naruto]

Hi all,

I took delievery of my 320d yesterday and loving it :rollsmile:

Now the sales man didn't know anything about the car. He didn't even know how the sunroof worked, and when I asked him about the warm ups and cool down of the turbo he didn't have a clue. So I'd like to know from you guys if I apply the same principles as on my TDI?

Thanks
Naruto

Grats on the purchase. Which dealer did you buy from? Salesman needs a slap.

Oh AND WE NEED PICTURES!!!!

 

[Naruto]

Bought it from Hatfield but not a BMW dealer
Pics will follow soon. I just need to wash it properly and wax it.
These people didn't even wash the car properly

please give the salesman a klap. he needs it badly. these guys piss me off. more worried about a commission than giving the client proper service.

congrats on the buy.


what model 320D is it. e46 or e90. manual or auto.


a few more specs. mileage, service history, colour.

Congrats! :bravo:

So the salesman got a commission for doing what exactly? :nonono:

If you plan on keeping the car, normal tdi rules apply. Drive very relaxed till it is up to temp (idling to warm the engine is bad for it), and let it idle 3 mins after a drive where you used more than 30% of the engines power, like on the highway.

How much is normal service at the dealers for this car?

Firsly congrats, great buy. I take it the km's are over 100k, so out of motorplan??
Also, maybe stop at Leo Haese Hatfield, tell them you didn't buy the car there, but can someone please demo the car for you to show you everything, and if they refuse, then post it here, and I will call them the next day.

 

[Sankekur]

Just don't let them touch the car, they have tendency to fix 320d's with bits of old rag :mmm:

Congrats on the car.

I also picked up a new 320d on tuesday, Salesman from autobahn took an hour going through the car with me.

On the mirror dimming, mine does it automatically. has a sensor that detect the light.

One of the guys on the forum took his car there to get a rattle looked at and fixed and it came back with a bit of cloth stuck into the engine bay.

Eish that's sad.
Thanks for the heads up...which dealer was this?

 

[Sankekur]

It was leo haese hatfield if I am not mistaken.

BTW, how do you dim the mirror when driving at night?

If it is not automatic dimming (optional) then dim the mirror by turning the red thumb size light at the bottom of the mirror. (LED flasher)

congrats on your new ride
