bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

What's XL? Extra Large or Exclusive or Executive?
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

I'm also wondering actually.... could it be referring to the 'Highline' spec?
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

the XL refers to an Uprated spec, like what they know as HighLine. How High became an X, I am not sure. But the basic difference is the spec such as GPS, i-Drive etc...
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

Ah... so it's really the Highline spec. If that's the case, some of the additional stuff for Highline specs, if I remember correctly, are:

iDrive + Navigation
Sunroof
Sports seats
Larger wheels

There are some other additional goodies but I can't remember all of them. Diff in price when new is close to 20k I think. iDrive + Navigation alone is a 9k option.

But I think its different for different models of cars. Not sure the 5 series XL got Sunroof or not.

In the past, they had several versions of the 320. Can't recall the names now but basically, cost more to buy but got additional items such as Xenon Lights, i-Drive etc...

Oh yeah, good point - might be different for 5. I keep thinking 325 XL cos that's the one I see most often with the XL moniker....
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

Thought there was the Executive, Professional and Highline models....

Yes, those were the names I couldn't remember but XL is just (I think anyway) in reference to HighLine... How they came up with the term Highline, I am not sure. Nonetheless, it is a commonplace term now.

DAMN you, BMW!!! or PML!!!

What is the difference between the XL and non XL version for the 325i? Appreciate insights

I think XL refers to xenon lights. I have a non-xenon lights High Line model, and the log card describes the car as "W/O XL". Dunno why they need to refer to xenons (or the lack of) in the model name!
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

the SE at performance premium selection told me the XL refers to xenon lights
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

I don't think I'm wrong but I don't think this applies ONLY to the 3 series - I may stand corrected.

But with the 5 series, the 525 and the 525XL - I think even the 520 comes with Xenon, so I don't think the 525 (w/o XL) comes without Xenons - Instead, I believe it is the equipment level.

Again, this is just from what I've seen. Anyone can confirm?
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

Maybe different meaning with the 5-series. Only PML can confirm...
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

My car's 2nd hand. And the agent told me that XL stands for Xenon Lights. Maybe they're wrong, I don't know.
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

I was told that LTA started to specify factory installed xenon in vehicle registration to aid inspection in the future. Meaning, if a car does not have xenon indicated in their record and they see the lights has been "upgraded", they might issue fine.

Cannot confirm if this is true though.
 
Re: bmw 325i -difference between XL and w/oXL version

Hello! I need some help with an Oct 2006 BMW 325i W/O XL.

If this car is exported today, there'll be a rebate of $51,450.

Consequently, how much is the body worth?

And how much should one pay for the car if sold locally?

The car is fully stock with GPS nav system.

Cheers!
