[QUOTE="Bruce_Z, post: 592230, member: 894"] I was there too at the AB so called "test drive". Frankly the session was too brief for me, since they did it convoy style, aka BMW driver training school style. But for me, a few things are a revelation to me: the ride quality is fantastic (even in sport+ mode), the N20 on the 328i engine is also so much better than the E90 325i's in terms of raw acceleration (although during hard accelerations, there is still a hair's breath of hesitation before the car lunges with all its turbo glory...). Actually, on such a short drives like this you cant really judge the differences in performance between the 320D and the 328i at all, during my session 320D and 328i seem to be overtaking each other at the slightest opportuniries :) but you cant beat the on paper specs of the 328i - 6.1 vs 7.6 secs to the century....328i is the one to go for if you can afford the 50k premium.Note also the 320d is sold in MYS in "base" trim for now. The only thing still not sure for me for the 328i are the "trims" level - sport vs luxury...you cant get the fantastic dark brown interior in sport trim... bummer. Anyhow lets see if the SKD brings up any pleasant surprises in July (on top of the slight price reductions). [/QUOTE]
