U.S. Owners only, if you could have any BMW that is exclusive to europe, which one?

tizzyd · 10-16-2008, 05:54 PM

If you could have any of the BMWs currently only sold over in Europe, which one would you have?
I would either have an Individual 330i coupe or a E91 335i 6 speed, what a car. I would take the 330i because it has nearly as much power as the 335 (272 hp), but is still naturally aspirated. The N54 is a better engine, but it would be interesting to see how the N52 in the E92 330 compared to the N52 in my 328xi

chaz58 · 10-16-2008, 06:12 PM

Yeah, the E91 335i 6 speed would be entertaining. I have a 328 E91 6 speed and can't compain. The US 330 and 328 feel pretty much the same, although the newer Euro 330 has more top end HP - I don't think the torque is much different.

The people who need a 335i are those with AWD and and auto transmission. AWD and Auto really sap the power if you have a 328 or lower. RWD, stick and a 328/330 do just fine for me.

Personally I would be interested in a 5 door 130i or 123d.

e92 m3 with the euro bumper

McLuVan · 10-16-2008, 06:15 PM

no but for real
the 335D

Barbera335 · 10-16-2008, 06:20 PM

118d msport 5 door hatch as the high mileage daily commuter and an E61 M5 touring as my weekend sleeper. Completely debadged of course.

calleballe · 10-16-2008, 07:30 PM

I'd take an E91, 320d xDrive steptronic Msport if it came here. 177 Hp, massive torque and 50MPG. World class combo for a daily commuter.

BMWFM · 10-16-2008, 07:33 PM

e91 335xd

or M5 Touring.

Park2670 · 10-16-2008, 07:34 PM

M sport kit.

I know thats not one car, but its something that I have always wanted.

Mooreski · 10-16-2008, 07:38 PM

E91 M3 or 335.... I loves me a sport wagon!!

GregL · 10-16-2008, 07:46 PM

Call me crazy, but I'd go for a BMW Individual 530xd Touring with M Sport package.

07 coupe · 10-16-2008, 09:00 PM

The e91 335 6 speed would be cool, but what I really want is a 130i M Sport 5 door 6 speed...

ruxp · 10-16-2008, 09:33 PM

E91 335

Phil G · 10-16-2008, 09:35 PM

320d for a commuter car all the way! Probably would have a C6 Vette vert as a weekend car. I know I'll get flamed for that, but I'll always be in love with a Corvette, so much history and character!

The C6 Z06 is probably one of the best U.S Sports cars ever made.

to_riffic · 10-16-2008, 09:55 PM

oh man, e92 335d 6mt

that would be sick w/ lemon interior..

oldaccount · 10-16-2008, 10:00 PM

M5 touring
335i with sport package and Mtech kit

328fan · 10-16-2008, 11:13 PM

I would take the e90 330i. The euro e90 330i (the 272hp version, before it only had 258hp) is significantly faster than the 328i and not that much slower than the 335i. I also like the feel of the NA engine over the turbo for smoothness and the sound of the engine.

Year's_End · 10-17-2008, 12:53 AM

E81 123d M-Sport. Done deal.

3er858 · 10-17-2008, 01:04 AM

E91 335i M-Sport if I'm being realistic, M5 wagon if I'm day dreaming

+1. I really hope they bring it to North America.

Deda · 10-17-2008, 03:26 AM

335d is my suggestion.
