M Sport versus SE differences?

TAM11M · 06-09-2013, 02:23 PM

I love my SE but I think its because
one the interior is lemon nappa leather,
two I do mostly long distance so seats are nice and comfy,
three the leather color actually matches the roof lining
and lastly, I dont think the pre LCI M-Sport looks that great and I would rather work on buying an SE and making the car look the way I wanted it to. Only thing I wish mine had was a better stock sound system but that will all get changed now anyways.

Another SE lover here - having owned an M Sport in the past I thought I would buy one this time round but when my car came up realised I could get a newer LCI SE for the same money. Decided to go for it and 15k later am very happy with it.

True the car isn't so stand out, but I'm happy with that as I worry less about where I park it. The softer suspension and higher profile tyres mean it's less painful around town and it still handles better than pretty much any other saloon car out there. The seats don't have the same support as the M-sport ones, but I still find it very comfortable.

So really it depends what you want!

Hey this is my first post .picked up my first bmw last week, but a little confused what it is . I know its not a msport its a se 325i coupe .but a bit different to the other se s I test drove . It has come with 19 inch wheels 230s I think . Sports seats black dakota leather with memory functions and thigh support . I drive with satnav , angel eyes drl s auto lights and mirror . Is this standard or sports pack or just extras that the first owner purchased ?thanks

Can you put a pic of it on here, will be easier to identify.

Sportplus · 06-10-2013, 07:40 AM

Sounds like you have an SE model with M Sport seats. The Idrive and other bits can be spec'ed on any car, The 19 inch 230's are also an SE upgrade.

Sounds like you have a nice car

Done it , there is the pic thanks

ukbeemerboy · 06-10-2013, 11:44 AM

It's just a SE with options. The wheels, seats, i-Drive etc would of been all extra.

jase682 · 06-10-2013, 11:55 AM

Sorry Jase, I re-read that and thought how rude! It wasn't meant to sound like that!

It's a very nice looking mate!

ArsE92 · 06-10-2013, 01:57 PM

And of course it has the best wheels ever!

Sportplus · 06-11-2013, 01:23 AM

Great looking car, I do like those wheels.....

I hope you checked the price of 19" RF tyres

jase682 · 06-11-2013, 09:46 AM

Hey guys thanks for the replys . Didnt think you were being rude lol . It has come with normal tyres I told the garage the ride on the runflats was to hard so he put eagle f1s front and contisport 3 on the back . More comfy ride I feel . Love the car its an awesome drive , bit thirsty though . so much nicer than the a4 I had before besides the sound system which is shocking lol . Just thinking of lowering it a little to get rid of the big gap on the front arch .
