[UIUCF30]

Hey everyone, I am new around here and to this whole forum thing in general but I figured I would put out a few questions and try to gain some feedback.

I plan on purchasing a CPO F30 this coming weekend, the dealer I am heading to has multiple options in my price range.

I am trying to decide between the 320i xDrive vs 328i xDrive (2013-2014 with 33k or less miles).

Would love to hear from some of you on what you recommend! Pros or Cons of each etc.

Thanks!

I think you will hear many on here suggest the 328 over the 320 - More power makes for more smiles. Personally I see the 328 as the base model - the 320 was meant for the masses but lacks power. By example 0-60 is 6.6 seconds with the 320 and 5.3 with the 328. That's a significant difference.

I actually had the same choice when I purchased my car about 6 weeks ago. I was originally interested in a 2014 320i in Black as that was my favorite color. For the same price there was a 2013 328i with black leather and about 7k more miles, but more options as well. I drove both and even though the 328 was Silver (a color I've never had before), I went with the 328 as it brought a bigger smile to my face when I test drove it. The Silver took a couple weeks to grow on me but I love it now...and coming from a MB C300 back to BMW ( on my 5th) I'm glad to be back!

328i for sure. Just that little extra umph.

Thanks for the feedback, will keep that in mind this weekend! It turns out that the 14' is the 320 w/ 35k and the 13' is the 328 with 29k. Is it worth it to go with the 13' 328 while losing a year of warranty?

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
