Re: Trading in my 320I for 120
Had an hour to kill last week and popped into the showroom at Leng Kee to test drive the 120 cab.
It looks nice, but it's quite cramped at the back seats. Performance-wise, it's nothing to shout about though.
I would think the 135 would be great in performance. For the 1-series, IMHO, you should go for at least the 125 but I understand the cab is only for the 120 at the moment....

Well the rate of depreciation slows with every year of ownership. At some point there'll be an "optimal" but where you are right now, it's far from optimal.
If you really wanna switch, scout around for a private deal... don't take the dealer route unless you're in a hurry to let go. Meantime, consider a used E46 - you get a BMW cab with decent room for four, and with a 150k budget you can probably get a 3-litre IL6.

Re: Trading in my 320I for 120
Eh, depends on how you look at it.
If sell 1 year from now, lose extra $10 (approx). But if buy new car the depreciation will be another $20+k.
However, if you think new car is worth it, then go for it.
Yr 320 definately can sell more than $100k if in good condition.. PML usu offer low price so try to squeeze them on that off the price of new car.
Actually, E46 is a very reliable car, with good handling, space, and solid construction. For $150 you can get a very nice 3+ year old 330cic or younger 325. 6 cylinder beats 4 anytime... running costs are not very high if you service outside.
The convertible shows up the engine sound a lot more 'cos the roof is down.... you will want a nice sounding engine. hee hee

Re: Trading in my 320I for 120
A3 cab is a very beautiful car...
However, all front drive Audi's esp. turbos suffer from a lot of torque steer and vague steering.
If you can get past that, the Audi is a good alternative, esp. with their keen pricing.
With PML, you can forget about any sizeable discount... esp those on indent basis 'cos you dun order they dun indent, no loss for them. They're more desparate to sell cars on their lot, esp. funny colours or soon to be replaced models like the current e90 now.
Funny thing about open-top driving, once you've tasted it, you can't live without it.

Re: Trading in my 320I for 120
i went down to Audi but they do not have an A3 on display...coming in next year or something...
price is about the same...i saw the technical spec...seems like its better than 120 but not as good as the 125...
guess i'll wait till year end and then decide

Re: Trading in my 320I for 120
Audi and BMW are 2 different cars, different drives (you own a BMW yourself so I'm sure you understand what I mean)...
The specs itself does not say everything... in fact I must admit that for the same price, the Audi range has better specs than BMW.
Many people like Audi convertibles because they're into convertibles for fuss-free open-top cruising in a good-looking car. Performance isn't necessarily on the cards. The Audi will bring you long distances without fuss or complaint, and the ride is pretty good.
The BMW is all about the engines and handling in a usable package (c.f. porsche which is really awesome performance and handling but not totally practical family car).... but not the most usable or most cushy ride around... and the specs are quite aweful for the price.
I got my 335 convertible over anything esle because it is I dare say the only car in the world that provides me with everything I need... good looks, performance, hard-top, handling, 4 adults, decent boot, can fit golf bags and even my dog

Re: Trading in my 320I for 120
after looking at the brochure for bm and audi...the bm seems to look prettier haha
i am just hoping the performance on the 120 is slightly better than my 320...the rep at pml said the 120 is lighter so will be slightly better in performance..dunno how true is tat..
currently not very happy with my 320...some times if i wanna go slightly faster...i can tell that it does not have the extra boost i need
