Bro Shaifulo,

M54B22(170HP) & M54B25(191HP) power not much different? Care to elaborate more? Any chasis crack problem for M54 variant?

hi bro,

I was targetting the 325i during my search before. I test driven a few but didn't feel any noticeable difference with the b22 variant. MAybe coz i didn't drive them hard enough to feel it. The grunt at lower rpm is almost identical

I was sold after test driven the 330i coz the power was almost instantaneous and the beautiful sound it makes...plus the much better specs/options

hence my choice for the 330i

on chassis crack problem?? never heard of it...but it is notorious for the required frequent lower arm bush replacement

Not so much different lar bro but the torque awesome. My 528 old petrol price is 25cts/km. New price 35cts/km. Since I plan to get E60 in 3 yrs time I prefer to get E46 model which market value wont drop so much. So the oldest I can buy is 7 yrs old E46 so that when I sell in 3 yrs time the car still can get loan. Only not sure yet which model to go:stupid:

i've done 40k km on my b30 since the last FC reset...the obc now is showing 12.3l/100km, i think it works out to around RM0.33++/km. Not bad considering i like to use the SD mode

if u ask me....i like the 320i m-sport. the sport seats, steering, suspension, wheels, aerodynamics are great additions to have. besides, u already got the 528i for performance:top:
