Standard spec and any difference between Touring 325/330/35?

TMP · 11-20-2013, 03:18 PM

Bit confused guys....cannot find the stand spec in the online brouchure or website e.g. does the car come with Xenons. Have to use the online Configurator to see what you can add

Plus, on the e9x, if you went up to the 6pot models, you also got more kit, is this still the case?

Cheers

The 330 and 335 get the 8 speed auto transmission. Think its an option on the 325.
Xenons are an option or part of the visibility pack and the m sport plus pack.

TMP · 11-20-2013, 04:08 PM

Cheers mate, but where do i find the rest of the stnadard spec included?

So the 330/335 only get the Auto extra as standard then?

Eccles Ken · 11-20-2013, 04:18 PM

I agree TMP its all rather obscure.

A way to do it is to configure each model you're interested in and save your configurations under a set up user - I think you're allowed a good number on the web site.

As you go configure each model and get to the extras category, you will find that the standard facilities are ticked for you eg if you go for Msport, the sports seats are ticked whereas on an SE etc the boxis unchecked unless you specify this as an extra.

Alternatively get a hard copy brochure which is not totally crystal clear but is a bit better!

Proftinkerpot · 11-20-2013, 04:20 PM

Agree with Ken. Get a brochure and price list from dealer as it has tables with standard and optional kit,

TMP · 11-20-2013, 04:40 PM

Balls! Online it is, a shave seen some v.tasty lease deals on all three so need to move quickly

Was assuming 335 came with more things as standard, but it seems it doesn't !

No need to go to the dealer, they can be downloaded off of the BMW UK website.

They list the standard spec, but there isn't much if anything between the 325/330/335 models.

@TMP you thinking of shopping in your M135i? Or is it your 5er?

Alkidrew · 11-21-2013, 01:59 AM

The brochure is the best place, it has the black bullet for standard and clear bullet for optional, the only things that change are 325d upwards gets both front and rear PDC as standard. Below that, its just rear.

The main changes are between the different spec e.g. luxury v sport v msport. Nothing other than PDC for engine changes as far as I can see

oop north · 11-21-2013, 03:13 AM

I think 6-cylinders adds metallic paint as well

I have a cunning way of doing just this. I found the old model comparison site is still up at http://content.bmw.co.uk/bmwuk/price...b-RjMw,00.html

Click on 'Car comparator' on the left and play away! It also works with any of the current BMW models not the the 3er.

Good link but it doesn't list 325 or 335 models

TMP · 11-21-2013, 04:04 AM

Thanks for the pointers guys - yes it seems servotronic and front pdc are the only extra's!

It does list them. Click on the "Build your 3 series" link on the left.

chetalien · 11-21-2013, 08:45 AM

In the car comparator it says M sport suspension on the 330dxdrive M sport but I have read it doesnt have M sport.
SOmeone who has 330dxdrive M sport may be able to clarify. cheers
