Not been there, but I've heard there are nice scenic drives. Post some more pictures with your F30 on those roads :-)

And price, yeah its 100%+ custom duty.
My cousin bought his 320D e90 5-6 months back and got heavy discounts because of outgoing model.

Btw, how much warranty do you get in India, years and miles?
Initial set of pics from the uloading to some highway pics are from NH8 only (i.e. Silvasa, Gujarat) highway. Will click & post new ones later

Warranty is 2 years / unlimited mileage

Similar here in Israel , it is a pre-set of what you can choose and very expensive, similar prices to India but still we have the cams all around so you can't drive fast ))

Enjoy your ride !

Fast for sure, but the traffic is not so obedient and amateur so can get risky if not attentive.

I have been getting "Coolant level low" error, so went to get it checked at the service center and they did the programming (as they say) and resolved the issue but again the next day the light came up & goes off the next time i start my car & comes up in a few kms again.

This time i have have demanded the coolant sensor replacement.

But how do i know the new sensor wont cause the problem again ?

If its a official recall, then the part will be rectified by BMW but im not sure BMW knows about this yet.

Any success stories ? Plz help

Thanks

Coolant level low issue is SOLVED now

The solution which was replacing the coolant tank + sensor.

I suggested the same to my SA @ BMW Infinity (Chembur, Mumbai), he agreed & got permission to replace both the parts (coolant tank + Sensor) under warranty.

And VOILA, Problem solved

Its been over 3 month now and no coolant level error till date.

I thank Bimmerpost for their support

Regarding mods, yes i have an exhaust planned soon & regarding lowering springs that aint a good idea for Indian (Mumbai) roads so that shall remain stock for now.

Nice write up and lovely sharing!
My first impression for India is just having too many tiny cars on road! Never through about 'unboxing' a new bmw in city

Hi Tina,

Thank you for the kind words

India is a fun place & now people have moved on from tiny cars to SUV's & high end luxury cars

And yeah the unboxing was the best bit for me too
