328i Sportline Ordered
Hey all,
Just wanted to share that I ordered a 328i sport. Car goes into production the first week of April. I should have it in the states sometime near the end of May. So here's the good stuff: Make: BMW Model: 328i Sedan Exterior Color: Mineral Grey Met Interior Color: Black/Red highlight Trans: Steptronic Conv Top: Options Include: 320 De-Badge ZPS Premium Sound Package ZSL Sport Line ZTP Technology Package 3AG Rear-View Camera 465 Fold Down Rear Seats 494 Heated Front Seats 4AD Aluminum Trim 4DL Highl. trim finish.black high-gloss 508 Park Distance Control ZPP Premium Package 522 Xenon Adaptive headlights I'm debating about switching the interior to gray, but I love the mineral grey color. I used to live in Europe, and I'm a big fan of the de-badging. I'm not trying to hide anything, I just really like the clean look of no badges on the rear. |

Congrats! You sure you didn't want to go with 335i? With all these options, it really makes sense to spend extra $1.5k to get the bigger engine. The actual difference is around $6k, but you add all the options (for e.g. ZPP, ZSP are cheaper for 335i, Xenons are standard and you get a lot of ZPP standard, moonroof, etc.), it starts making sense to go with the 6 cylinder unless you looking for better mileage.
My two cents. |

Thats the exact reason I ended up with 335i as well. The lease difference was $54 dollars with exact same configuration as 328i. The standard xenon and some other standard options make up for the difference.

Haha, the reason why I got the 328 instead of the 335 isn't as philosophical as many of you would think. I reserved a much less optioned out 328 a couple of weeks ago. Then, partly due to the long wait, I became antsy and added all the options. If I had to do it again, I'd probably go the same way. I would rather have the options instead of going for the 335 with less, regardless of if the 335 costs only a little more.
Now, to the debadging. This refers to the model number in the rear. I believe all American vehicles are produced without the model line on the side. I lived in Bayern for a bit and maybe 5% of the cars had something other than the company badge on the back. I became used to it, and I like it. Surprisingly, Audi's are all over the road compared to BMW's ... much different than upstate NY where I grew up. Now, the only decision I have left is to decide whether to switch to an everest gray interior as compared to the black. I think the lighter interior would contrast well with the darker exterior. My only concern is that the inside would be a little too dull .... I kind of wish that the car would go into production so that all of the configurations would be locked in haha |
