i know, i was a bit surprised by its lack of trademark BMW looks.

 

You should consider the 325i sedan, with some relatively minor replacement engine parts, you'll have yourself a 330i. :shhh:

Major parts shared by 325i + 330i

1) Engine block
2) Oil Pan
3) Engine Head
4) Inlet Cam
5) Exhaust cam
6) Connecting Rods
7) Pistons

Parts NOT shared
1) ECU
2) Intake system
3) Clutch
4) Differential

 

i want get a coupe for my next car h:

 

I like the e92. Saw the spy shots as well.

SHould be fun.

I drove a new 330i for a day and loved every minute of it. Lots more power and a few more goodies.

Its not for everyone.

I'd buy the 330 instead of the 325. You're going to want the extra power and will spend more money in the long run just to get to where the 330 is.

factory HP owns.

 

Spy shot?
Eh: https://www.honda-acura.net/forums/s....php?p=2878154

The coupe will only come in two trims: 335i & 328i (the "ci" moniker has been removed)

Several thousand dollars later, I can't agree with you more on factory HP.

 

Uh how can they share the same block when one of them has a .5 liter displacement advantage?

Errr let me rephrase this, how would the intake, clutch and diff compensate for the extra liters?

 

Uhh.. stroke and cyl size?

JFWY yo!

 

Wow.. didn't even see taht post! The spy shots were of a black one driving in the city.

I guess its just me getting old and lazy. For a car in that price range, I would rather have something great from the factory with full warranty than to buy the lesser model and mod it. I'm all for suspension and asthetic mods, but you don't buy a 328 for raw power.

On the same note, I think that's why edna is looking to get away from his a4.

e92 328+suspension+ lm's = nice fast practical car.

 

Simple, because there is no difference in displacement between the USDM e90 330i and 325i. :shhh:

 

:reechy:
yeah, they all use 3.0s
bmw and their weird numbering system that doesn't really reflect the engine displacement. besides the 3/530
