i think 318 is good enough though...cause no complain from my friends whom riding it.

the 1.8 is good enough...

The E46 318i is a 1.9 (pre-facelift, non Valvetronic) or 2.0 (facelifted model, Valvetronic).

here we go again...bro, if you're considering either an 01 325 or 02 318 for around RM150K, then the answer is 325. no regrets!.

Another vote here for 325.

Petrol consumption for mine is approx. 9-10 L/100 km for long distance drive whilst town drive(not so traffic jammed like Tk.Intan) u'll get abt.
12-13 L/100 km.
I do 'tekan' once in a while and I 'm assured the 325 has that extra
reserved power waiting to be released when I need it.

Hebat,bat,bat.bat.......

Why la Teluk Intan heavy jam ka????

 

[r424]

Oops!Sorry for the slip!
I mean there's not much traffic jam in Tk. Intan as compared to KL.

 

[leakwoon]

wat is top speed so far u guys with 325i has achieved?

240kmh?

 

[scin]

IMHO,

It's not so much the power or the fuel economy or the repairs.....

Ultimately..... The real BMW 3 series experience is a sliky smooth straight six...

Well said...

 

[eddiefiola]

kan aku dah cakap, most of the forumers here prefer 325. regardless u want to cruise around or like to tekan-tekan, get at least 325 lah. in terms of fuel consumption between 318 n 325, tak byk beza.
so again, takyah amik 318, membazir aje.......

People, read the topic....he is asking about sharing experiences with the two models not which is better, each car is better its own way etc etc... why i say this, because this is a never ending discussion...just like the previous on, if this thread starts to go out of hand it will be closed

 

[graffika]

well, actually , ive sat in 318 pre and fl , 325 , 330 , m3 manual & m3 smgII

Comfort wise , all also good depending again on your shocks / absorbers & tyre profiles.

since the topic 318 n 325 ...

a) if u just want a beemer , a 318 will do .

B) if u want power & performance, definitely a 325 , and of course , a beemer as well .

c) if u want even more power & performance, 330 , of course , a beemer as well .

d) if u want the ultimate 3, which gives maximum performance and maximum power for the e46 , m3 , also a beemer , but only in CI / CIC form , not sedan.

Sorry kenny...just saw a 318i with a 2.0lt badge on the left hand side of the rear bonnet...makes me more bloody confusing....

 

[fabianyee]

there are 2 engines for the E46 318i (Prefacelif 1.9, and facelifted 2.0 valvetronic)
As for the E46 320i, there are also 2 engines (2.0 and 2.2)

 

[cleverboy]

My 318is dam good di, taken down lots of same cc's player, over-taking perdana or waja no problem at all.

I wud say it depends on what u want, obviously i wud wanna have the ///m guys.

 

[macdaque]

anxious,

Between 318i and 325i, definitely 325. You will have to test both cars to feel the difference.

If you are interested in a beautiful black 325i, Aug 2004, still under warranty, let me know or email me at macdaque@liewchambers.com. Am looking at e39 now.

liew.

Depends on your profile as an owner. If you like to "tekan" it'll only take you a max of 3 months driving the 318i before your eyes start roving at 330i's and 325i's. If you just like to cruise around and appreciate lower maint and cheaper fuel consumption, you'd be happier with the 318i.

E46F once told me when I was contemplating the 318i I'll always yearn for a 325i. I lost a bit of sleep over it and I'm glad I got the 325i. The extra fuel and maintenance costs are worth it cos of those nice occasions you can tarek on a clear stretch and that oh so brilliant soundtrack as the 2.5L engine finds extra oooomph nearing the 6K rpm mark. It's not about being better than others, it's about how good it makes YOU feel and you do feel the extra 50 to 75 bhps! Too bad I got no rich daddy to get myself an M3 and just got to settle for being a sad old 33-yr old wannabe!

 

[leakwoon]

too bad i have no

try to get my next ride as a 2.5l 6 cylinders machine lo
