New e92 320d M Sport Ordered

Steve Gill · 04-24-2007, 04:46 PM

Hi Folks

I'm over on e46fanatics, started out with a 330d SE and then bought a 535d, some may know me from my Nurburgring videos

I've got an e46 M3 CSL which I leave at the Nurburgring, and have been looking for a cheap (tax wise) yet great car for use during the week, and I can't believe I hadn't noticed how fantastic the e92 is!!

So I've ordered a 320d M Sport, which will be chipped as soon as it arrives

Spec as follows:

Z3D5: E92 320d M Sport Coupe N47 2.0d
475: Black Sapphire
ANAT: Blue Shadow Cloth/Alcantara Anthracite
205: Automatic Gearbox
217: Active Steering
2MP: M light alloy wheels double spoke 225M, 19"
481: Sport Seats
494: Front Seat Heating
4AD: Brushed Aluminium Trim
508: Park Distance Control
521: Rain Sensor & Auto Light Activation
524: Adaptive Headlights
609: Nav Professional
612: BMW Assist
620: Voice Control
633: Bluetooth & telematics
654: DAB Digital Satellite Radio
676: Hi-Fi Loudspeaker system
6FL: USB/Audio Interface
704: M Sports Suspension
710: M Steering Wheel
715: M Aerodynamic Bodystyling
760: High Gloss Shadow Line
775: Anthracite Headlining

Any suggestions on things I've missed, or comments?

I don't know standard specification in your country.
In Poland there is standard:
- 7RS package (249 = multifunctional steering wheel, 493=cupholders,507 534,563....and more) check this in your country.

What about:
- 761 Individual windows?

esquire · 04-25-2007, 03:39 AM

steve. curious.... what made you opt for a 320 over the 335?

booforty · 04-25-2007, 03:42 AM

Good choice Steve, enjoy!

Ulrikgm · 04-25-2007, 06:45 AM

How much power will get from the chip?

skansa · 04-25-2007, 11:10 AM

active steering is a complete waste of money, use it to put towards either the 325d or something else.... really!

Floor mats are being provided by the dealer, because they're cheaper that way

Tax reasons

I just sold my e60 M5, as trading it for a 320d is going to save me around 14k per annum in my pocket. The 320d is used for getting me to work and back, I've got the e46 M3 CSL or my X3 3.0sd for the weekends

Around 40bhp, plus oodles of torque.

I disagree - I have active steering on my 535d and love it

Reason for not going for a higher model is tax, as explained above
