Help me compare 2 configs for my wife's new car (320xi vs 328xi)
We plan to do European Delivery in June 2013 and with the new 320xi out I am a bit undecided what to buy.
It will be my wife's daily driver (I will drive it once in a while) and she is not a spirited driver but likes the size and look (so I get to decide on everything but the colors). She is currently driving a 2011 328xi. If I compare on MSRP basis here are the options that seem to make sense for her (we are in Colorado). The car will be a 3 year lease. Car 320xi 328xi Base 34550 38850 Melbourne Red 550 550 Black Dakota Leather 1450 0 Silver Matte Trim 0 0 Cold Weather 950 950 Driver Assistance 950 1900 Premium Package 3200 3100 Fold Down Rear 475 0 Destination 895 895 Total 43020 46245 Invoice ED (est). 37400 40095 There is a difference in the driver assistance package (blind spot and more cameras) so I understand it is not fully apples to apples comparison. But those 2 things were not really on the list anyway (was mainly looking for the park distance). Couple questions: 1. anybody sees any errors in the math above ? 2. For her the 320xi seems to have enough horsepower so not sure what else I would get in the 328xi (if its my car I would get DHP but I doubt she would use it or notice) 3. I don't see the point about Nav, she uses her current Garmin maybe every 2 -3 month, also we got like 3 Nav systems on our iphones (Waze, Google and Apple). I have it in my car and it is nice but a lot more money then any good Garmin. 4. Anything you would change on the options and packages ? 5. Any idea about money factor and residual differences ? 6. Is the 328xi worth the 2.7k in this configuration ? Main difference I see is the higher tuned engine (seems to be the same one otherwise) 7. any other feedback is welcome thanks for your help Last edited by German Expat; 01-19-2013 at 01:22 PM. |
