Since you're Italian visit http://www.bmw.it/it/it/.

Ciao!

the 320si relies on revs to get the power and if you are driving it more normally it will feel sluggish.The 320d has torque and in most normal driving conditions will feel a lot more powerfull.

[BODY76]

ok..thanks... for your opinion you buy a 320d or 320 si?

[gianton]

I would buy the 320d all the way.

STOP = before you go any further with the 320d msport or 320si - you have to consider the Alpina D3:

It's actually cheaper tham the 320d m-sport (£27,275) and it has 200bhp (not 163 bhp)

[gianton]

I second that.

alpina is a diesel?

[garehaan]

The 320si is a limited edition and a nice looking car. BMW probably put it in the showrooms to boost sales on the petrol engine since the majority of cars sold over here are 320 and 318 diesels. When your mileage is not that high you'll get an excellent offer with a special color, beautiful rims and a complete M-pack.
But as said, the diesel has way more torque and probably a better resale value.

thanks so much garehaan

the irony is that the 320si sounds like a diesel too

in europe, diesel will prob have higher resale but the si is a limited edition model. A tough choice, mate.
320si- 0-100kmph- 8.0s, 173hp, torque 200NM- manual only

320d- 0100kmph-8.3s, 163hp, torque 340NM-manual

Alpina (Diesel) D3

0-100 in 7.4secs, 200hp, torque 410nm

6-7 litres / 100 km.

Seriously, I'd get the D3 - it's almost as good as the 330d.

definitely 320d over 320si. The Alpina is a great car but i understand you cant spec extras on it you have to take it as it comes.

You can. I've contacted them.

Only prob is if you want auto as it comes only with manual transmission.

My dealer had a black D3 in the collection area last week. It looked pretty special.

Personally I think it represents fantastic value when compared to the 320d m-sport.
