[QUOTE="zhul, post: 29056, member: 19021"] On AB's invitation, I went for a test drive today at Oasis, Ara Damansara. They had two emcees introducing the cars and showed a presentation on the difference between their Luxury and Sport versions. From the outside, Luxury versions have chrome linings all over while the Sport version have Black stripes instead. The 328i and the 335i have both the Luxury and Sport while the 320d only had the Base version, which was not explained.Managed to get their 328i for test drive, which was good because I thought it was the logical upgrade from my 320d. The spec I got was the Luxury. Immediately after sitting I noticed the seats feel bigger and more comfy. The gearbox are similar to the F10's gearbox and has 8 gears. Driver's seating position was excellent :top:On the road, the car was well behaved and elegant, nicer to drive than the e90 at slow to moderate speeds.
