why same engine capacity but different power?

Re: why same engine capacity but different power?

Of course buy 520i lah. Actually 516i also can.

Singapore everywhere jam, even weekends and public holiday also jam on PIE. Need so fast for what?

CCB government.

I don't drive everyday but I disagree on jam everywhere as there will be some pocket of emptiness. To find this pocket, one need to get car with good pwr/hp (< 8kg/hp).

Alpina luxobarge........

That's for driving to KL for breakfast, Ipoh for lunch & Singapore for dinner.

Re: why same engine capacity but different power?

BMW's strategy of leveraging a few well designed engines and varying the F family chassis (now we have 1,2,3,4,5,6,7, M & X series - There is no Z in the F family) to suite the individual's taste or lifestyle is really clever. And its just 4 engine supporting those platforms here in SG (N13, N20, N55 & S55). Each engine systematically organized into different power classes (Low, Average & Top) so it can differentiate even further within the same series.

It help build lots of sales now and with the detunes will help build sales later.

I drive everyday and I jam almost everyday. Most avg 20km/hr...Some days 15km/hr...

8kg/hp is slow lah...like 320i 523i...sweet spot is 5kg/hp...useable fast...

Re: why same engine capacity but different power?

The answer is quite obvious, M135.

Seriously, similar registration date?

Re: why same engine capacity but different power?

Do u mean 320 vs 328?
or
520 vs 528?

Does both cars got the same equipment?

Over the wkend, i juz realised that F30 320 & F20 M135 got the same price. Which 1 to buy?

Hmm

Really? I think if similar reg date the price will be different leh
