There was a hi-line in 2007 for the E90 and before that, there's SE, so called Special Edition for the E90 320i.

The Hi-line E90 comes with rear screen, front PDC, wood trim, chrome tail pipe and black lines tail light for an extra few thousand RM.

I took the non Hi-line, end up with only rear PDC, no window screen, no vanity mirror light, no rear reading lights, no footwell lights and no chrome tail pipe.

As far as I know BMW has never used the term Hi-Line or such things...probably invented by parallel importers as the local market understands it easier (Proton Hi-Line). Unheard of in the UK.

SE has got a lot of interpretations...most likely is Standard Equipment (have researched on this before) but could well be Special Edition though I dont feel there's anything special about it.

Theres also ES edition....Edition Sport as I understand it but it sits under the SE specs.

In terms of hierarchy, goes like this:

1. Base edition
2. ES Edition
3. SE edition
4. M-Sport edition

And no, factory M-sport does not have any difference in terms of engine performance (same HP same torque)

really....im currently using new Camry 2.0. average town use only 550 full tank (RM110).
is 530 really that save fuel ???

Haha...you never heard of BMW's reputation for efficient fuel consumption?
 
LOL!! That is... if you can resist from flooring the accelerator :vroam:
One thing for sure, if you are driving leisurely... it's better than many Japanese cars out there :top:

any different on fc btw 530 & 525?

I think its negligible...for example 525i's fuel consumption is 9.38 l/100km, and 530i is 9.5 l/100km (both 2006 model, combined town/highway FC). But of course greatly depends on your driving style

Only major difference is when you go renew your road tax la...525i is about RM880, 530i about RM2070

Ah... I beg to differ :D who said that there are no mods or tuning on the engine for M-Sport??? It boils down to whether you have the heart and $$$ to do so :top:
You can always do:
1) ECU re-map (+-10% increase in hp)
2) Sprint booster for better pick-up
3) Pulley (available for M54 engine but not sure about N52.. anyone can confirm?) +-10% in hp
4) quad exhaust (various brands such as Remus,Hamann, etc...) - back pressure reduction
5) Gruppe M or BMC Carbon Fibre Air Filter (better pickup and sounds good too!)
6) exhaust manifold... not sure about the price though :D

And if you have the extra $$$ (as in $$$ is not an object)... u can always go for supercharger!!! Apparently, you supercharge your car with G-Power (check out with Imola Motorsport in Ampang)... can cost a bomb! Not sure if there's anyone who actually do that though :wink:

I think they are talking about BMW factory tuning and mods la...in the sense that BMW didnt tune the M-sport to be different than other editions...once you bought it of course you can do anything to it! :rock:
 
:D my bad! should have read thoroughly first

thule, i did not say u cannot do any engine mods or any mods for that matter to improve the power output and neither did i say there are no mods available for the engine...

what i said is very clear, that is - the E60 m-sport models do not have any difference in engine specs compared with the non-m-sport ones...

of course u can do whatever u want to if u own the car dude and if u r willing to spend as well :)
 
Since this topic is a very common topic, could anyone advice me on how to post up a pdf file at the size of 1.5MB? I have a scanned M-Sport Brochure to share.
