Want to buy 320d executive... - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

moO moO nEL · 03-11-2006, 08:50 AM

...automatic...as a daily commuter

2 questions:

1.) Is there a big difference between stock hifi / hifi loud speaker system / logic 7 ?

2.) How much should I pay for the 320d with m.paint/xenon/sunroof/PDC f&r/sport suspension/logic 7?

thanks

Hey i'm looking to buy my car too, do you think we can get together and try get ourselves a discount?

Btw, why do you want a deisel?

moO moO nEL · 03-11-2006, 07:48 PM

pulling power? fuel consumption?
I am thinking the 323i as well

aem · 03-11-2006, 10:31 PM

What's wrong with your z4?

323i are old man...don't you mean 325i?

I will keep my Z4 as a weekend/night out car.
I am looking for a more comfortable ride for everyday/family use.

Why 323i are old man car?

aem · 04-04-2006, 08:51 AM

323i ended in 2000 didn't they?

I'd rather get a newish 318 than an old 323i for daily driving, better on the fuel economy.

moO moO nEL · 04-04-2006, 11:01 PM

No!

I was talking about the E90 323i which release in June this year!

aem · 04-05-2006, 05:20 PM

Wow so the 323i has made a return...

moO moO nEL · 04-05-2006, 11:25 PM

Just placed order a silver 323i automatic with sunroof, xenon and M sport kit.

It will be May production and delivery in July.

aussie79 · 04-06-2006, 09:04 PM

I wish i could wait for 2-3 months....to get 323 instead of 320...
BUT i am very happy with my 320 as well!!!!

aem, if you're still planning to get a car, which dealers have you talked to? might be able to refer you to the place i got mine. can try to see if you can get a good deal, too.

aem · 04-07-2006, 07:23 AM

I want to save "the sit down with the dealer" day till i'm 110% ready and when i'm ready, i'll go in for the kill.... Atm still researching and summarising...

Would be extremely good if you can refer me one, thanks.

moO moO nEL · 04-07-2006, 02:17 PM

Talk to Michael @ Alto BMW Artarmon. He is very easy to deal with.

aem · 04-07-2006, 03:11 PM

Sure thing, thanks man.

taki_idesign · 04-15-2006, 02:52 AM

I just can't wait until June... or Lucky enough to think about it extra time.
As a former E46 325ci user, I am not sure about this engine.
So I need test drive first. Then I will decide 325i or 320d.
Well of course, I can wait until e92... Sometime late next year?

It's obviously best seller E90 in Europe. But is it really fun to drive car?
Also I haven't driven any TURBO car ever. It's should be exciting.

Does anyone know about mod for 320D available in AU? Like ECU upgrade or exhaust system.

Hi, I've just joined the forum after having been a silent reader for months. I've just ordered a 320d executive, sparkling graphite, sunroof and rear PDCs, $70000 on road. The dealer told me this is $5000 off the undiscounted price. It looks quite good to me on paper. I should be getting it in 2 weeks.

I test drove it first, and the demo had only 200km on it. It is certainly a lot quicker than the petrol 320i. However the power delivery is very linear, rather than a big "ooomph". So it gathers speed quite rapidly but you don't get the shove in the back that you might expect with a fat torque.

But you're always confused, the result is the same.
