No , I'm not upset.
I like the car. Love the shape, comfy heated sport seats, as I said £9000 worth of extras. The odd thing that strikes me about the adaptive suspension ,is that taking into account its effectiveness and sophistication, it is one of the few BMW extras that appears to be good value.
The 328i is a rapid car but the fuel consumption hovers around the 30 mark.
When I was looking for a used car the 328 had the highest level of depreciation.
£26000 down from £39000 in 6 months & 2,700 miles. The 320 d had depreciated a lot less and all the 320d ex BMW cars had far fewer extras than the 328.
I am retired and only do 5-6000 miles a year so the extra loaded/depreciated 328 modern made financial sense.
The 330d was not available when I was looking for a used car & none of the used cars on BMWs used car website had adaptive suspension.
I have had many cars over the years & one thing I know that is a fact when driving a car is that 6 cylinders beats 4 any time.
I even like the light coloured interior of the Modern, although I can't imagine many younger people actually ordering a Modern as opposed to a Sport.
