Had the pleasure to meet Pat at AB Glenmarie on Saturday afternoon, took the 320i Sport for a spin at the back road of Glenmarie, COOL!!! :top:

I notice many subtle differences which I fail to notice the first time.. to list them all..

1. Black internal roof canvas
2. Lights behind both front visors
3. Matching hand brake handle with the super thick M-Sport steering
4. Electric rear blind
5. Auto cruise
6. Auto anti glare rear view mirror

Learned to use the M-Sport seat for the first time and real interesting. Not the extendable lap support feature though, but the air waist support which is electrically adjusted and can really "clamp" your waist tightly to minimise body movement when we going thru the back roads of Glenmarie. It was FUN!! I saw Pat's knee was slamming left and right to the door panel and central console.. hope she's used to this kind of driving..

The lowered and stiffer suspension has improved the handling and yet, still comfortable too. I quite like it.

The extra 6hp is hardly noticeble though..

The thick steering has good steering feedback and its quite nice though.. perhaps its because thicker steering provides more palm surface contact, thus more feel!

Note: The above listed features are all not available in my 2007 320i..

Yeah astroboy, fully agree with you that the M-parts in the Sports versions are really good. :top: Just the steering wheel and front seats alone are worth the extra $$! Not to mention the suspension and aerodynamics. In my original test drive last year, I drove the Sports and Standard 325s back-to-back and although performance was the same, could immediately feel the difference in fun factor.

Time to consider an upgrade. Or better still wait for the 325 Sports to reappear, probably facelifted. :wink:

astroboy, are you planning to sell you 320i and buy a 320i sport:rock:~???

 

[astroboy]

No la... itchy only.. I not rich la.. I think I will retire with this E90... for now..

I heard the RM300k A4T FSI quattro test drive even more fun, the salesman will ask you to speed up to 140kph behind the Glenmarie sandy road, slam brake AND turn the steering just to see how the car react to the situation.. anyone tried that?

A friend just bought a brand new zero mileage 2007 Volvo S40 2.4T for RM160, V-Kool and bodykit all included, good deal hor.. but my E90 still rocks! :rocks: why? roundel mah..

 

[boyim76]

Volvo S40 2.4T with 220hp? must be typo right? should be s40 2.4i.. anyway, it is still a good deal at RM160k.

 

[astroboy]

Aiyaa.. a lot of talk big people around... people say, we just listen lor. The same fella also say he heard E46 ECU very costly, he say his friend sell Lamburger direct sell and made an E46 but sold off the car because the ECU kaput and need RM47k to replace.. That one I tiu him already. I say with RM47k, u don't buy ECU la, u look for M3 half cut lio..

Oh yes, he even say his s40 can do 750km on a full tank of less than RM150 fuel.. so impressive meh?

I think is possible, coz my father 525i full tank can go for 400+KM, S40 car is not heavy mah, 700km is possible~!! astroboy how about your 320i FC:rock:~???

 

[mikeyew]

That guy is talking crap again. I used to owned a S40i and with a full tank you can only go 500km max (mix driving). Quite a fun car to drive but lacks the character of a UDM

 

[astroboy]

My FC is about 600km per tank..

 

[paulpaul2]

FC its wat?

 

[devilsadvocate]

fuel consumption


cheers

 

[racheltoh]

u can get 600km FC @ about rm120+ on e90????
the petrol kiosk got make a difference or not? ie u pump in shell, esso, petronas?
i never got that before. so far i m getting about 430++ km on full tank.

His is a 320i la.

 

[racheltoh]

what sort of fc should a 325i be getting????

 

[David Yong]

I'm getting 14.8L/100km which is also about 450++ km on full tank around RM 110.00.

 

[Schwepps]

rachel, you should look at FC from a standard measure such as lit/100km rather than km per full tank. The point when one considers that a full tank has been used is different from one person to another. So based on the lit/100km calculated by the OBC, I get the following FC in my 325i Sports:

Pure highway at average of 130kmh = 11 lit/100km
City driving average = 12 lit/100km
Secondary roads with kickdown overtaking = 13 lit/100km

I use Shell V-Power. I reckon the higher the Ron, the higher the cost, but the lower the FC. That's my own theory...
