 Car&Driver Nov 05 325i Sport Manual.



I just got my Car and driver in the mail for November 2005 and on page 158 there is a short take on a Red 325i Sport with just a few options (Sport Package, and Sirius Sat radio). Total price was $33,190.

0-60 in 6.1 sec
0-100 in 16.8 sec
Street start 5-60 in 6.8 sec
1/4 Mile in 14.7Sec@94 MPH
top speed 147 MPH
Braking, 70-0 in 161 feet
300-ft-dia-Skidpad 0.87g
test fuel economy 25 MPG

curb weight 3,348 pounds

the following are quotes from the artical.

The Universally praised 3 series ride-and-Handling balance is still intact. That's a relief, Considering BMW had to work around teh stiff-ness of the run flat tires. However, this latest setup feels a little stiffer then the outgoing model's(E46), and when successive road irregularities of a large variety are encountered, the ride can get harsh. At the limit, there is more understeer then we recall in the latest car, but there is still some characteristic BMW neutrality,achieved in part by a weight distribution of 49.9 front and 50.1 rear.

The added power and more aggresive gearing give straight line performance a swift kick to 6.1 seconds from 0-60 and 14.7 seconds ar 94 MPH Through the quarter mile. this 325i blows away the last generation car and is also quickerthen the previous 330i model.

enjoy everyone.

2005 330i orient blue, Sand leather interior, myrtle wood trim, Premium package, Steptronic automatic, Bi-Xenon's. 8,950 miles

Not convinced of that. 6.1s is way too optimistic.

It would be nice if there was a non run-flat tire option on the new E90.

I can attest that the e90 handles pretty damn good with non-run flats on it. Although the runflats with a wear rating of 140 are incredibly sticky, but weigh a ton.

I am considering the E90 for my next car and run-flats would not be a dealer breaker but... I just don't like the fact that many shops will not patch the tires, they weigh more, are expensive to replace, and seem to ride harsher.
