Zainoel Johari
218i M Sport (2020)
Bought new, Owned for 1 Year
Fuel Economy: 13.0 km/litre (7.7 L/100 km), RON95, Mileage: 2,000 km/month
The look with M Sport package.
The frameless doors.
The handling. At least BMW know how to make the car handles well even in FWD form.
The BMW live cockpit professional.
The decent boot space and very practical with 40-20-40 split folding rear seat.
The well spec'd for a so called 'BMW rahmah'.
Engine is very harsh when pushed.
Annoying 3 cylinder vibration during start, more so with the start stop function.
It's a compact car... not very spacious.
NVH is not exactly good, but not exactly bad either.
Add another MYR 50k more can get you the better 320i M Sport.
To improve
1.5 litre B38 feels lethargic, but willing to revs. Not exactly underpowered but just barely enough. BMW Malaysia should forget about this engine and use the 2.0 litre B48 powerplant ie. 220i Gran Coupe instead.
No, I would not recommend this car
