328 loaner impressions...
So my dealership gave me a brand new 2013 BMW 328 Baseline as a loaner car over the weekend. I own a 335 M-Sport Manual.
The 328 is impressive in the power department. The automatic does a excellent job while in Sport Mode. To be honest if I bought a 328 I would not have been disapointed in the power.
The major area I feel the 328 lacks is noise. The engine is very noisey compared the 335. It sounds horrible. For this reason alone I would not be able to live with the 328 on a daily bases.
Random question: Does the base lines have less sound insulation? The wind noise is much worse than on the loaner than on my 335. I have never noticed the wind noise on my car but driving around on the highway I kept thinking "WTF".
If anyone was wonder how base audio compared to the B&O audio. The $800 for the upgrade is well worth. The base audio is terrible depending on what type of music you listen too. Country sounds fine but anything with any sort of beat sounds terrible.
