I guess the Gs styling is more appealing to younger people like yourself. :) Almost everyone in our club also very much like that styling, except only maybe me (and I'm the oldest guy there too!).

Yes, that's why I mentioned above, the 328i F30 is the 1st choice IMHO. I were to change my X to another family sedan, that car would be my first target coz the others are just not interesting anymore (might as well just keep using my X rather than change). Not sure though if there's any nagging issue/flaw/weakness with this car.

That color is quite rare compared to others. You're aiming for those year 2014 above right?
M-Sport is 2013 and above. Estoril Blue is super rare. Prices still seem to be holding quite high.

heard that the F30 has lots of issues, when encountering going thru floods or heavy rain.

I suggest C180 or C200.
Can you share some info? My friend driving a 316i for almost two years, no issue, and another friend got a 318i, haven't heard anything yet. Both bought new.

I like the C200 current model, but its still very expensive.

E250 costs way more bro. Cannot afford.

...
Actually on the road I often seen it but somehow not many shown on sale in ads.
Prices seem to still be 150+, but this one below is already below 140, not sure if ori M-Sport or not. It's not the blue one though.

How to differentiate the real M-Sport and the converted one?

Hmm yeah if local car then can still seek support and claim warranty to local BMW.

Next year probably will drop another 15-20k.

The steering wheel and the estoril blue stripe across the dashboard.

earlier BMW only had 3 years warranty... June 2015 onwards they offered 5 years warranty.

Their prices is at a premium. The 330e pre-regs are going for very very attractive prices right now, but frankly I am not convinced by the batteries.

Oh so you managed to go have a look that day?
Test driven as well. Its a refreshing experience, the electric only drive is not powerful like Tesla (since this is not pure EV), its enough to get you to legal road speeds, and quite rapidly enough. but beyond 80km/h on electric only is challenging (but that was NOT the intended usage).
