Driving uphill I find RWD better than FWD because the pressure on the rear wheels increase and you get better traction.

Thanks for the input. Good point to mention traction control, and glad RWD seems to work well for you.

Interested to know, as I plan on doing some driving tours in Norway when I get my BMW...

One reason could be that those cars are horribly expensive in Norway due to taxes I think. Even though they have the oil they aren't like the Arabs and "living it up" but saving money for later.

[RayF31]

Hello,

Nice to meet you all

I am Ray also a "dutchie" and living in the Netherlands.
Recently became a very happy owner of a glaciersilver F31 320iA M-Sport.

Most of my time I will be looking into coding which I find very interesting as a "techie"

See ya

Grtz,
Ray

[RayF31]

BTW ...
I see some pretty familiar "dutch" "names" over here from bmw3seriesforum.nl

Yes it is I .... Ray

Grtz,
Ray

[Mctijn]

Here's another Dutch F30 owner

[vood]

Here I'm, from belgium.

I just ordered my fifth 3 serie, F30 330d (E90 320xd 2011, E90 320xd 2009, E46 320d touring 2006, E46 320d 2005)

[mlorenzo]

Hi,
I am from Croatia. I have order new Liquid blue 320D Sport line with lot of add on.
Adaptive suspension
Variable sport steering
Harman Kardon
Xenon with all what it goes
Adaptive headlights
Dual Zone AC
Split back seat
light package
rain/light sensors
back park sensors
etc.
I am impatient to get it! somewhere end of March/start April

I still have some concerns about wheels. Should I get 18"
It comes with 17" double spoke 392
As I have adaptive suspension I have some doubts should I go for 18"!? What will be difference
Beside it 18" looks better, car is already down 10mm (due adaptive suspension), tyres will just be more expensive and will spend more petrol. Is it worth it!?

appreciate your thoughts

[schrickm5]

I've had 2 E34 M5's and an Alpina B8, and a 635CSi from 89. Currently on an E39.530i.....that is until Aug 25, when I receive delivery of my 2014 F31 328xi touring in Jet Black with 8spd auto. I'm a Brit living in North Sweden.
To say I cannot wait would be a gross understatement.
