Look for hurrican3 on this forum, he's currently driving one now. I had a quick spin in it couple of months back, def fun to drive but exhaust is bit on the quiet side. Boot space is not compromised as the batt is hidden under the boot floor.

Which MB are u driving now anyways?

Re: Ah3

currently driving the C350..this will be the family car so looking for things like comfort, fuel economy etc. Thks KR81 will try to ask hurrican3.

Re: Ah3

C350 will have similar cabin and boot space so no problem fitting in your family and all your stuff. Performance wise, AH3 should be better? Also, check out the HUD feature, it's pretty clear even during the day. Have fun 'shopping'!

Re: Ah3

only one AH3 in the forum?

Re: Ah3

Could I ask you as to why you'd choose the AH3 over a 335?

Re: Ah3

I seriously don't think the battery is there to improve FC... to me, they are meant to boost power/performance, if FC, i really really don't see why they lup it with a 3L engine when on battery only the range is just a few KM... so the 3L is going to drink like normal, MAYBE better FC than a standard 335, but don't expect savings...

It's actually having more power and according to the specs is 0.3 secs faster than a 335. But if you're looking at FC I think you should worry too much cos you're already paying such a huge price.

AH3 Battery warranty by AD only 5 years......

Re: Ah3

From my understanding, the battery will boost performance when pushed hard and help in improving FC and keeping C02 emissions low when driven sedately. But if driving sedately most of the time, better off sticking with a 320i or 328i, price differences between them and the AH3 is about $90k to $110k (PML prices). Use the savings for a holiday with the fam and spend the rest for mods!

Not use the $110K for petrol ah? Assume 10,000km/yr mileage, 10l/100km consumption, $2/L assumption... $2,000 per year on fuel, x 10 years = $20,000, if drive sport as default, 20l/km still $4,000 petrol per year.... got $60-$80K left... hmmmm.....

Like that might as well include insurance, servicing/repair, grooming costs etc for 10 years.
Don't forget to include the PARF rebate too
