323 sedan kitted out with BMW Perf kit

MikeVictor · 01-28-2010, 07:06 PM

I've snuck over here from 1addicts to let you guys know that when I was at BBMW this morning they had a beautiful 323 sedan in Alpine White on the showroom floor.

It think it was decked out in just about the full range of BMW Perf. extras, I could spot:

brakes and rotors
5-dual spoke wheels
seats
black kidney grills
aero side skirts
CF spoiler
front aero kit

it probably has more but that's what I could notice at a quick glance.

Nice looking car with all that kit on it

So you just wanted to tease us...should have at least snapped some pics. Btw what was the price on that car. The performance options don't come cheap, anyone who would fork out the dosh on that 323 could easily get themselves into an 08 demo 335.

It was few coins over $100k if I remember.

You could buy a lot of different cars for the money, sure, but not many would rival this one for the way it looks. It certainly stands out from the crowd, but thankfully not in a shouty, horrible way. Much like my gorgeous 135i

I was quite taken with it actually.

aww thats cute a 135 owner having a crush on a 3 series :P

Doncaster BMW VIC has a black 323 also with all the performance kit stuff

John_01 · 01-29-2010, 10:03 AM

It seems pointless to spend extra money on a 323i. It woud make more sense for BMW to offer a "BMW Performance 330i".

scheps · 01-29-2010, 05:15 PM

they probably have 323's they cant get rid of.

performance 330 will put it up to ~ 140k?

thats pretty close to a C63 (can be had for 150k)

E92325i · 01-29-2010, 05:27 PM

I've seen that black 323i at doncaster as well. Looks great but i wouldn't get the stripe kit or fork out that sort of money for a 323i

I don't think it has to cost that much. Perhaps they could charge for other options such as, Hi-Fi audio, Navigation, and only include the basic sports seats and M-sport steering wheel. Maybe even include the european spec fabric/alcantara interior as standard.

If BMW can include the 195kW 3.0 litre engine in the 1 series sport model, why not in a Performance kitted 330i?

Does the car at Doncaster have the BMW Performance seats by any chance?

E92325i · 02-02-2010, 07:18 PM

Yeah Oz it has the performance seats in it. It was parked inside the showroom right opposite the service desk/area when i was in last thursday
