BMW 3 SERIES FULL REVIEW F30/31 320D BUYERS GUIDE

Here is my full review of my BMW F31 320d. I talk about things to consider when looking to buy a car, reliability, what the car is like to live with and what it's like to drive in different situations. I cover differences between the M sport and SE models, some different spec options which might be important to you, and what the different driving modes do.

Scotland is still part of the Uk and believe me where I live you are glad of the X drive which I have. My 2013 320 X drive diesel has 140k on the clock and it is plenty powerful enough for our roads.

Great review, thanks. Car going into comfort mode when DSC is full off is for driving in ice and snow conditions. DSC interferes too much when wheels spin so you want to turn DSC fully off but you also want a delocate trottle response.

I've owned my F30 2013 M Sport 320d since 2017. Things I've done that I'd recommend to you. 1 Change to LCI rear lights. 2 Debadge. 3 remove single exhaust for double. Looks well better. I've added the front back grill too. Only thing left to do now is 'Maybe a stage 1 map' what are your thoughts on maps for 320d? Reliability?

I think you can make Bluetooth music work with iPhone.

You didn't mention anything about the DPF, or the problems with shorter journeys, regeneration or how much extra fuel it burns doing the regeneration. I had to get shut of mine as economy dropped to 30MPG and the DPF completely blocked after 5000miles from new, then 20, 000miles. Useless car!
