Re: New member reporting in
It's definetely 318. A buddy of mine jux confirm one 2day.
20 horses lesser than 320, but 2 litre engine. Said to be from Germany, whereas 320 is from S. Africa. Test drove it with him a fortnite ago. Initial pick up (or kick in) seems better than 320; don't know why.(Tested both). But after the first few seconds, it fall behind the 320.
But interior quite basic. Also no climate control, manual buttons. But Bimmer is a Bimmer. The drive is still there.
Cheers & have a great n safe ride

The 318i acheives peak torque at lower RPMs is probably why it felt much quicker off the line

Oh I c.
Does it also mean that it will pick up quicker than a 520 or 525? Or the 323?
Is it true that the advantage will be gone after the first few sec?

Re: New member reporting in
yeah, as the distance stretches it will start to pull away. there is no substitute for displacement.
