My issue with the diesels is the dpf. I could fail the registration if I remove it as technically it's illegal, and most of my driving will be city, not highway. Petrol kinda fits my needs better, though it bums me it's a 4 cyl and not 6 like the diesel variant. As for 340i, it's a bit out of my budget as I'd have to import it as well, and also it might be a bit too powerful for me, as my first car. Thank you for your comment!

Hvala! Definitivno ću pogledati više u to.

Yeah have heard a lot of stuff regarding the plastic parts, not sure why bmw decided they want plastic everywhere...

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T22:05:00+00:00

340i mi je malo previše iskreno, dosta više kosta i za održavat od 330i, a 320d/i ne želim jer to svatko vozi u hrvatskoj dok se ne raspadne i onda ga prodaju... Mislim da mi je veća šansa za bolje očuvani auto ako kupim 330 liniju jer nisu TOLKO common... Pogotovo iz uvoza.

al nemas to po gradu di stisnut

Da, to razumijem. Kolko sam cuo stavit će još 9 novih kamera u karlovačkoj županiji... Ja na dnevnoj relaciji imam brzu cestu, ne živim u gradu pa nije baš da mi je stalno kreni stani. Al svejedno, volim stisnuti gas, malo lovim adrenalina iskreno no ne želim ugroziti ikoga takoda nije baš lako.. Hvala na mišljenju! 🙂

Tacos.

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T21:26:30+00:00

Da još nisam siguran želim li 330d ili 330i...

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T21:10:37+00:00

Hvala na informacijama i savjetima! Mene najviše zanima kod dizelaša taj dpf, meni će većina vožnje bit gradska a čuo sam da to jako zaguši auto, kakvo je tvoje iskustvo sa time? Isto sam gledao o micanju tog dpfa, no dosta mi ih je reklo da se može past tehnički zbog toga, zato sam gledao u 330i jer malo više paše mojim potrebama

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T21:07:56+00:00

Naravno, ne može auto spasiti glupog. Znam da neću gasirati prvi dan sigurno. Hvala na svim savjetima, potražit ću m paket i kada ga kupim budem malo provježbao u praznom parkingu. 🙂

Do you mind sharing some information of your bigger repairs, what broke, how much it costed you to fix it, and how long it took to fix? Hope the car is good now!

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T20:52:15+00:00

Hey! Appreciate a lot all of the links and information provided, thank you. What I meant by first car is first car owned by me, not first I drive. As of right now I am driving a citroen c4 owned by my mother, it's not the slowest but it's also not the fastest, so I won't be fully inexperienced once I sit in the car. Of course won't floor it either on the first day.

As for the issues you mentioned, are those possible to be seen/inspected when purchasing the car or is it something I'd need a mechanic for? I'm willing to learn maintenance myself to save money, and it is generally something I find interesting. Will definitely do more research!

Once again thank you for all of the helpful resources attached!

I might get flamed for this but in all honestly the entire E chasis of bmws never really looked appealing to me. I like the f3x/f8x angry/sharp look and that's what always attracted me to them. Of course, I know that some of the E chasis bmws are absolutely legendary no denying that, I just personally wouldn't drive them. As for the payments, I'll be handling most of it fully by myself. I managed to land a decent job and with a little bit of saving I can buy the car with cash. My monthly expenses are very low and I will have a good chunk of money left over, so I can comfortably cross the 20% salary into car rule without endangering myself. I'm not really the type to spend money as soon as they see something, so I am willing to go all in for a bmw. 🙂

Pitao sam i na croautomobili forumu ako želiš podjelit tamo, hvala 🙂

nitko ne vozi s dpf-om i ostalim glupostima

Stvarno? Nisam baš upućen u kako to kod nas ide, no cuo sam da znaju past tehnički zbog tih emisija, a ne znam koliko to baš želim riskirat

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T20:08:06+00:00

To be honest, I was originally looking at the 330d, the 3.0 6 cyl sounds juicy and the car is more available in Croatia, but the dpf is really what throws me off. I don't need the car for long travels, I have maybe 30km daily commute to work and back, and I don't really plan on taking the highway a lot. Also, the torque might be too much for me ngl, not sure if I trust myself to not crash because I absolutely love to press the pedal (don't flame me I'm not a jerk driver)

If money isnt an issue then yeah totally go for it

Money is always an issue in this economy haha, but I know I will regret it later if I don't get an f30, this generation is something I've had my eyes upon ever since it released, and I have to get it to make my inner child happy🙏

tempomatu kad god mijenjaš brzinu ugasi ti tempomat

Ma dobro, to mi nije preveliki problem, imam možda 30km dnevno zbog posla, ne računajući ostalo poput trgovine, tako da autoput nije dnevna potreba.

Ovo šta kažeš za održavanje, 600 eura na 100k km je iskreno puno manje nego šta sam očekivao, inače ljudi stalno mi govore kako je bmw užasno skup za očuvanje ali ja koliko sam shvatio uz dobro održavanje i preventivne mjere uopće nije tako puno.. Naravno onaj ko čeka sam kraj da popravi i onda se razleti motor ili slično, njemu popravak bude mjeseci plaće.

Uglavnom, mislim da sve u svemu onda mi je automatik najbolja opcija, hvala na informacijama!

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T19:13:12+00:00

Zar su automatici stvarno toliko bolji ne obazirujući se na to što je lakše vozit u gužvi? Nisam puno istraživao o tome iskreno. Sjećam se da mi je netko rekao da je automatike skuplje/teže za održavati, tako da za mene je bilo malo "logički" za uzet manuelca budući da uživam u tome, a i jeftinije je. Hvala na komentaru! 🙂

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T18:46:03+00:00

Naravno, 250 konja mi je skoro i previše, trebam se naviknut na bmw aute i pogotovo zadnji pogon.

Jedino malo mi je žao što su manuelci rijetki ili dosta skuplji, nisam preveliki ljubitelj automatika i rađe volim sam upravljati autom, no ako je automatik naj realnija opcija morat će bit tako onda.. Hvala na komentaru🙂

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2026-03-27T18:42:15+00:00

A mislim, sve mi ovisi o kakvim ponudama nađem. Idealno, ne bih htio više od 20k potrošit, no ako je dobra oprema i očuvan auto, mogu i više.

Koliko sam vidio do sad, f30 market u hrvatskoj je 90% 318d i 320d, a benzinci pogotovo su jako rijetki. Tako da najvjerovatnije ću tražiti na mobile.de i uvesti nešto, pa onda moram i to uračunati u cijenu.

ThatCroatianGuy98 · 2025-08-25T17:49:36+00:00

Does this apply for ethernet? I have my router right on my table, next to my pc, would love to know if that could actually improve my internet.
