 Why an E90??



In the February 14, 2005 hardcopy of Autoweek, it is stated that the BMW 130i going on sale in Europe this year and the U.S. next year will "pack a 3.0 liter, 258 hp, 221 lb ft inline six mated to a six-speed manual, which should be good for 0 to 60 mph in about 6.0 seconds".

Did I miss something here? Can this possibly be correct, that a 1 series would have more (or the same) power as an E90 330? Who in their right mind would buy an E90 325? (or 330 for that matter) Lets face it, most of us don't buy them for space, we buy them for performance.

The 1 series *must* be cheaper than a 3, correct?

It appears a 2006 1 series could keep even (or even beat) the current beloved ZHP?

Someone please explain if I'm missing something...

Acutally, I would by the E90 for space...a 1 series is WAY too small for my needs.

It is 258 DIN HP = 255 SAE HP, the latter is the norm, which is used in the USA.

In terms of luggage space and rear leg room, the E90 Sedan offers more space than the 1 Series.

I think most people buy them for the space (and performance)

I don't think many people buy 3ers just for performance

I respectfully disagree. If you wanted space, you'd buy something else. My 325 sedan is tiny, the back seat is about the same size as a Jetta!!

Personally, I bought mine for the handling (and its lived up to its sterling reputation)

there are many, many cars that handle much, much better than yours
