Message: <blockquote data-quote="wglee" data-source="post: 144749" data-attributes="member: 610">1. 0-100kmh: According to the sales literature given to me by an AB salesman, the E60 520i 2.2 does 0-100km/h in 9.9 seconds. The figure of approx. 9 seconds quoted above could be for the manual model which is not available here in Malaysia. I didn't check the 0-100km/h times for the E90 325i but I suspect the time of approx. 7 seconds quoted above is probably also for the manual model which, again, is not available in Malaysia. I would venture a guess of 8 seconds for the E90 325i automatic to do the 0-100km/h dash.2. Year of manufacture: The salesman told me the Thai-sourced E60 520is were manufactured in 2005. Can anyone confirm this?3. No cruise control at this price range?: By the way, to those who find cruise control useful and/or important, it is still unclear at this point whether the Thai-sourced E60 520is have cruise control. The sales literature (a meagre 1 page photocopy) given to me by the salesman is silent on this. If the Thai-sourced E60 520is do not have cruise control, that would be odd given that the old CKD E39 520i 2.2 had cruise control.  4. Making a choice: Going back to the original question, I think I'll choose the E60 520i 2.2 instead of the E90 325i, although my decision is likely to be reviewed upon receiving confirmation as to whether the 520i was manufactured in 2005 and whether it has cruise control (I find cruise control useful).</blockquote>
