Local 320i and overseas 320i has different performance?

[Quentin]

Why is it, on our BMW official site it states that the 320i's acceleration from 0-100km/h is 7.6 sec,http://www.bmw.com.my/com/en/newvehicles/3series/sedan/2012/showroom/compare.html?model_1=320i&model_2=320dBut on other country's site it's 7.3 sec for both auto and manualhttp://www.bmw.com/com/en/newvehicles/3series/sedan/2011/showroom/compare.html?model_1=320i&model_2=320dAnd apart from that, the price of 320i there is a bit more expensive compared to 320d. So the 320i there is different or BMW Malaysia had understate the 320i's performance?

i think it's due to our low quality euro2 fuel.
328i also getting slower 0-100km/h for msia spec(6.1s) compared to international spec(5.9s), not forget about 320d also(7.6 vs 7.4s)

Detuned to suit our low quality fuel.

I see. So when higher quality fuel is introduced here, our cars will be able to perform like international spec?

Yup, those specs are usually taken with Ron98 fuel. You can always try Ron98 by pumping in Singapore

I can't, if I do that I have to tow my car back to the workshop.
