You could even fix the soft rear suspension from the after-market.
AdiSinghV12's BMW 320d with M Performance Power KitĮxceptional! A popular model worldwide, hence there is ample parts & technical support for mods. Back seat lacks under-thigh support for tall passengers. Some features missing (folding rear seat, adjustable lumbar support, front parking sensors, cruise control, height adjustable seatbelts). Used F10 5-Series are priced not so far away. BMW's 2.0L diesel is more clattery / noisy than you'd expect in a luxury car. You need a good independent mechanic to maintain one (authorised workshops too pricey). Spare parts can be eye-wateringly expensive to buy. Electric steering isn't to an enthusiast's tastes. No spare wheel or even space for one! Placing a spare chews away cargo room from the small boot. Rear suspension feels too soft under hard driving. If you buy a recent car, you can extend the warranty upto 6 years!. Features like the iDrive, memory seats, head-up display, nice sound system etc. Rear seat space was noticeably improved over the cramped E90. Phenomenal 8-speed gearbox is fast & smooth. Two fantastic engine options the practical 320d & the high-revving 328i. Looks great & is a very competent sedan, even by current standards. A fun-to-drive RWD BMW that can be had for Hyundai Creta money. The car did well in India & many BHPians have lapped up new / pre-worshipped ones. But like the E60 -> F10 transition, BMW "softened" the F30 too. After the stiff-riding, cramped & heavy-steering E90 came this F30 which was far easier to live with.
