new bmw 316

theokas · 09-30-2005, 11:48 AM

Here in Greece (where the taxes are high) the new bmw 316 e90 is for real. It costs 28500 euros and has a 115 hp 1600cc engine.

Does it come with automatic transmission?

Inline with other Euro countries I guess... this more than a US 328i txs included! Weird part is that on average, Americans earn much more than in Greece.

Is it true that this board is dominated by 335i enthusiasts who at ages under 25 have purchased a car costing more than $45K? This is the same crowd that believes that only a girlie man would drive a 328i or god forbid a 316 in Europe.

I would bet that a small displacement BMW four cylinder 3 series would be a blast to drive. However, from what I have heard the Europeans are taxed into the smaller displacement engines. For many many years the europeans have been blasting around in small displacement Alfas and Fiats and have been having more fun than us.

i wouldn't make comment as such.

in some countries, what you paid for your ride in the US may only buy you a tricycle.

Greece is the shit, but i didn't see many BMW's, just a lot of rice... it's a global epidemic....

Europeans should be applauded for driving smaller cars with smaller engines.

exo-ak-dk · 12-28-2008, 01:49 PM

Man, this thread came alive after 3 years.

Due to the high price of cars and gas in Europe, it becomes more about the overall driving experience than raw power. Everyone loves more power, but if the cost of that power is out of reach, you can still enjoy a great driving machine with modest power, especially if you buy it with a manual tranny, less options, less weight and shorter gearing.
