Help - BMW 328ix or Audi A4 2.0 2009 by montrota
Jun 11, 2009 (7:00 pm)

I had a 2003 Audi 1.8T which I loved. Recently hit by a drunk driver and my car was totaled. May end up buying newer version of the same thing I had, but of course part of me thinks I should try something new. Considering the BMW 328ix. Test drove both and like them. I thought the BMW felt a little smaller in the driver's seat - does this seem accurate? I live in snowy climate and AWD is very important. Will BMW handle as well in the snow as my Audi did? Just realized that Audi no longer covers maintenance. Any estimate of how much this will cost me for 4 yrs - this will really allow me to compare apples to apples.
Thanks!

17" Wheels by samuel70

I am thinking about ordering my new 3 Series with 17" wheels instead of the standard 16". The primary reason is I really do not like the choice of standard wheels they offer. My current 3 Series has 16", what major difference will I notice with the ride on the 17" Wheels...

If the 16 v 17 refers only to tire with, it'll mean slightly better traction and slightly worse mileage.
 
If it's tied to smaller tire sidewalls, in general, smaller tire sidewalls = more road feel and better handling.
 
PS-this is based on my (lmtd) knowledge of tires, and not on my exp with BMW

Chrome around the windows by romboggie

Hi all,
 
Does the Chrome around the windows of the 3 series come standard? I just purchased a new 3 series 328i and the salesperson told me that the chrome around the windows is not standard. If it is not standard does anyone know how much it would cost to get them installed?

I think if you check you'll see that chrome around the windows is standard..., that is, it's standard for the 335i and not the 328i.
 
Best regards,
Shipo
