Not really. If you look at other cars - and I decided to look at the Toyota Camry since everyone says that's the 3-series competitor now - the 328d takes around 6.6s 0-60 while the 4-cylinder Camry comes in at 8s. 1/4 mile the 328d takes 15s, Camry 16.2. You'd have to get a V6 Camry to meet/exceed the 328d's acceleration performance.
My wife's 328d gets up to 100mph to pass folks slower than my 335d, but it's still plenty fast. |

I think I need glasses... Are we comparing a BMW with a Toyota? If 0-60 was all that mattered I'd get something I didn't care about. We all know a BMW is way more than one measure of success.

2016 328i xdrive: 46850$ 2017 330i xdrive: 47500$ So first, there is no 2017 328d because it was not approved for sale. Second, the 328d is 1500$ more expensive. The extra price for MY17 is probably some added std equipment, but still the 330i is less expensive.

I gave in...
After much thought, I've decided to get the M-Sport w/ Estoril Blue! So this is how my build looks
328d xDrive Sports Wagon
After realizing LED headlights could be had w/ just the Premium Package, I dropped the Lighting Package altogether. Now I'm trying to figure out if I want the HK sound system or the Side+Top Cameras. Here's my take Harman Kardon Sound System I'm no audiophile, but often listen to SXM or my phone when I'm driving. The stock HiFi system in my F30 works for me, but is the HK setup worth the hype? Side and Top View Cameras I park next to curbs often and figure the camera let me park more precisely and gauge distances to objects. On my F30, the only feature that lets me do that is the left mirror in reverse, so it works only in one scenario. Which of the two would you choose, if you could only have one? Similarly, would you drop Adaptive M Suspension (coming from a DHP car)?

the anthracite trim looks like a dark dark brown. i'd get the ash grain wood trim instead since it is blacker.
the HK isn't all that but it is way better than the base system and $875 is little to pay for the increase in sound. i'd get the top/side view cameras and lose the parking assistant. if you're not planning on suspension mods ( for lowering and handling) then consider adaptive since the base x suspension is soft and lacking. |

For all the torque monsters out there, how bout this?
And the silly model designation. The 328d is not the diesel version of the 328i, don´t care what they call it there it´s just not. Not even the 325d is near it however the 330d, there´s your diesel equivalent performance wise.

You can't typically just compare total torque of a Diesel engine to a gas engine. The curves are usually quite a bit steeper for the diesel so say both make 250 ft-lbs the diesel will feel faster through much of the rev range.

If you could choose only one of the two options, which would you rather get?

Adaptive suspension is non-negotiable. The rest is the matter of your personal preference, everyone will have different opinions. |

if the base sound is fine for you than go with cameras. you don't wanna curb them wheels...cameras are difficult and costly to DIY if you try to add them later. Bimmertech Amp and Bavsound or Mirage speaker upgrades are an easier DIY if you find the base audio lacking. but i still say get both since the additional total cost (<$1K) is quickly forgotten whether you lease, finance, or purchase outright.

I would imagine the front side view cameras would be pretty useful in SoCal, as I've identified many places I drive where they'd be useful now in the Bay Area. |

1. M-sport is a must on the wagon 2. Adaptive is the best suspension option available with xdrive. I went with the anthracite on mine, but if I had the choice, I would have gone with the ash. It has more character and just looks a bit higher quality. As long as you put your eye on both in person, of course it is your opinion that matters. I see more use for the cameras than for the parking assist, but I chose neither. The HK audio is better than the hifi, but I only had access to hifi, so I went with bavsound and bimmertech upgrade and it is certainly better than HK. Not really a recommendation, but things to think about.
