BMW320i54

In times past, entry-level cars were not kitted very well and most of the features were removed so the price can be justly slashed. As sure as nachos go well with cream cheese, the base cars will usually have smaller capacity engines for motivation.

Funny how such a little knob and a colour screen make a modern BMW feel complete.

The absence of additional cubbyholes or dummy buttons are sure signs that this Happy Meal isn't one fry short. Much value you'll get for RM238,800. OK, so there's no navigation or a music interface for smartphones or even BMW Apps, but think for a moment – are they really necessary?
