Hi Guys,

Jus wanna hear ur opinion on the above mentioned topic. I have seen in the newspaper ads for a e92 320i.

I knw the difference is the number of cyclinder in the 320 n the 325. But juz for crusing and normal city driving, would a 320i be more practical or the 325i?

Thanks.

The 320 will be underpowered for a car like the E92, designed to be a tourer.

At almost 1.6 tons, the E92 weighs as much as an E46 cabrio. So effectively, it is like driving an E46 318 cabriolet.........

Seems like the 325i is a much better tourer if tat the case.. with the heavy chasis, i thk the fuel usage will be higher?

Btw, isn't the e90 320i the same weight as the e92 320i?

Weights are similar. Go to BMW North America to compare models with the same engine - 328 coupe vs 328 sedan, 335 coupe vs 335 sedan - you will realise that weights between e90 and e92 are similar.

But you were comparing between e92 320 vs e92 325.........

Yes, if you go to www.bmwusa.com to compare weights of sedan vs coupes in all the same engine categories, they are all almost identical.

yup.. was comparing the 325i n the 320i .. my bad.. seems like the 325i will be a better car in terms of the engine..

Cos the PI seems to be giving a pretty good price @ 138k for the 320i.. after cash rebates tat is..

if you're purchase priorities are price, spec, satisfaction. buy E92 320i, looks the same as any other E92, overall car cheaper, road tax cheaper. cheaper insurance, maintains cheaper, lesser mods available. consumption are how you drive and where you drive. average should be 10-9KM/L on 19" staggered.

if you're purchase priorities are satisfaction, spec and price. buy E92 325i, its smoother, better power to ratio compares to E92 320i, more mods. slightly more ex maintains, consumption might be better than 320i when cruise on express way.

money no problem buy E92 325i.

there is no the best one, only the best you can afford.

all the best on your hunt.

Re: BMW E92 320i and 325i

SG w/Red in wooo. Kenn's twice ah! good good. I think so far I've not seen one other than Kenn's.

Happy modding. BTW, when is your delivery date?
 
Re: BMW E92 320i and 325i

Dun get the M3 reps - the rear offset is wrong !!!
 
Re: BMW E92 320i and 325i

Delivery date yet to be confirmed, cause still discussin some minor details before signin on the dotted line..

Can't compare to Kenn man.. He's e92 is freakin cool and hot.. He's the man..

I kinda of like the concave look on the m3 rims.. unless u hv another recommendation?

The original E92 M3 rear rims have very different offset from E92 non-M, and hence I have seen few E92s running on M3 reps - but I suspect they are running on 4 of the front wheels instead of a staggered set-up. As such, there is no concavity at the rear wheels.

Rims are very subjective, and it will be easy to start with 2 questions - size and budget?

Size wise is definitely 19"... Budget wise got no ideas yet.. cause being a new car owner.. nt too sure wat the prices of rims are..

But if it aren't too exp like say 6-8k per set.. i am still ok..

2 choices:

Jap's designs one-piece forged rims like Volks (4K range) to Neez/Schmeiden (8K range).....

US design lipped wheels 2- or 3-piece forged rims like DPE (or IForged or HRE) - (5K to 6K)......

Tuner brands like Hamann, AC Schnitzer, Breyton look dated in these times when everyone is looking for customisation and character from their cars.......
