Test Drive of the BMW Z4 M40i｜How Does a Boxster Owner Feel?

Recently, my husband has had the chance to test drive various classic cars owned by acquaintances. I’m truly envious… Just the other day, he got to drive the BMW Z4 M40i and kindly wrote up his impressions. Please have a look if you’re interested. The Joy of Driving, BMW The other day, I had the opportunity to experience the BMW Z4 M40i, and I’d like to share my impressions from that drive. I’ve mentioned this...

Finally, Selling Our BMW 320i The other day, we finally said goodbye to our beloved BMW 320i (F30). I briefly mentioned it in a previous article, but this time we decided to use an online simultaneous trade-in appraisal service. Also, my husband, who is experienced in these matters, handled all the negotiations, while I observed and learned from the sidelines. By the way, I want to make it clear from the start that this article...

Farewell and Thanks to My BMW 320i (F30)

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...

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...

Let’s Say It Again: Manual Cars Are Fun!

Manual Cars Since my very first car, a manual transmission BMW 320i arrived at our home, I’ve been driving the 320i quite often. Time flies—it’s almost been a year since delivery. This 320i isn’t an M Sport or anything fancy; it’s a basic model. After getting used to driving it, I honestly found myself feeling, “this is a bit underwhelming…” The engine is quiet, and the ride is comfortable, making it great as a family...

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...
