My Beloved BMW 320i As I briefly mentioned in a recent post, after much thought, I have decided to say goodbye to my very first car, my beloved BMW 320i. I bought the 320 used last April. Struggling to drive our family’s MT-spec Boxster and unable to drive much even after getting my automatic transmission license lifted for three years, I thought, “At this rate, I’ll never be able to drive a Porsche MT. I...
The Loaner Was a 320d (F30 Model) The other day, when I took my BMW 320i in for its one-year inspection, they kindly lent me a 320d (F30 model) as a loaner. I had expected a compact car or something similar as a loaner for such inspections, so I was pleasantly surprised to receive such a nice car. Thank you very much! Both my husband and I got to drive this 320d a little, so...
BMW, Inspection Time flies, and it’s already time for the one-year inspection of our BMW 320i (F30).(2014 model) In this just under one year, we’ve driven about 6,500 km. Compared to our other cars that often easily exceed 10,000 km per year, the 320i hasn’t been driven much at all. Even though we use it almost daily, mostly for short trips around the neighborhood, so the mileage is about this much. On the day of...
320i (G20) Test Drive A little while ago, I wrote an article about test driving the BMW M2 at a dealer, BMW M2コンペティションを試乗した感想 and at that time, I also had the chance to test drive the new 320i, so I’d like to share my impressions (though quite some time has passed…). The car I test drove was the F320i (G20) M Sport. When asked, “Would you like to test the petrol or diesel?” I chose...
To Fuji with the BMW 320i and GT3 Lately, I’ve been writing a lot about trips to Fuji Speedway, and today’s no exception (laughs). Last week, my husband drove the GT3 and I drove the BMW 320i (manual) for the roughly 1000km round trip to Fuji. Until now, whenever we went to Fuji Speedway, I always drove the Panamera, so I had experience driving 1000km in the Panamera, but this was my first time making...
A Visit to BMW for a Test Drive Last weekend, I suddenly got a call from the new representative at the BMW dealer saying, “Would you like to come test drive the new 3 Series tomorrow?” So, my family and I decided to go. We wondered, “What should we take? The Panamera? …But since we’re going to BMW, should we take the 320i? But if we go in the 320i, will they push us to...
今年5月に納車された、BMW320i（F30）。まっ宅の素のモデルなので、最初は物足りなさがあったのですが、最近は自分に馴染んで楽しくなってきました。これで峠道を駆け抜けるとどうなるか…芦有ドライブウェイまで走りにいってみました！
愛車のBMW320i（マニュアル）が、納車後5ヶ月経ち、自分に馴染んできた。エンジンもよく回るし、自分の運転にフィットするようになってきたので、以前より相棒感が増したように思う。そのあたりの部分を記事にしてみました。
汚れがなかなか落ちない車のホイール。毎回洗うのは面倒なので、ホイールコーティングをしてみました。その効果は？高圧洗浄機や自動洗車機ですぐに汚れが落ちるのか検証。
Washing the BMW 320i At the end of May, my very first car, a BMW 320i, arrived at our home. Since then, I’ve been driving it almost every day, but mostly for city driving, so the mileage has just barely passed 1,500 km. And during that time, I have not washed it once… (–_-) My husband would probably be shocked if he heard that, and he might scold me for not treating my beloved car...
