Test Drive: BMW 320d M Sport (F30 Model)

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 320i (F30) One-Year Inspection: Details and Costs

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...

Test Drive of the New BMW 320i M Sport (G20) – The BMW We’ve Been Waiting For

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...

Impressions from Driving Approximately 1000km Round Trip in a BMW 320i

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...

Impressions from Test Driving the BMW M2 Competition

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...

Washing My BMW – How Much Dirt Can an Automatic Car Wash at a Gas Station Remove?

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...

Enabled the DRL Daylight on My BMW!

Daylight Running Lights on the BMW 320i Today, I want to talk about the daylight running lights on my BMW 320i. This was my very first car, a 2014 model, and when it was delivered, the daylight running light function was left in a sleep mode. (By the way, I wrote about turning on the daylight running lights on the Boxster in the article linked below) ポルシェのデイライト(DRL)について – 安全のために出来るだけライトは点けよう Daylight running lights are “lights turned...
