!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , on sale for 36,500 (MSRP 37,520). While this might not be a truly "stripped" model as that should MSRP at 34,975 with only the Sport Package, this one comes with heated front seats, and a moonroof. But for under 37k it is pretty darn close.

Whoa, that Moonroof is gonna throw off the center of gravity, CP.

Am I the only one that would rather have a turbo with his 6spd?

Why spend 37k on a newish used slow BMW when you can get something else for the same? I don't get it

This does have a turbo, the same N20 found in the 328 just de-tuned and 5 grand cheaper

Well it isn't newish, it is a new 14, but as for the power, you have a point.

Everyone say CP, I'll be a Hipster and say NP since it is not mainstream.

You told me you were interested in one of those right? I quite like it, but I wouldn't buy it without LEDs, I think the car was designed from day 1 with that feature, and not having it just looks half assed. IMHO

Oh well in that case, it just needs a tune! For some reason I thought the 320's were NA.

The opportunity for a quick engine tune makes it pretty appealing. Surely someone can kick it up to 328i power for you for a couple hundred bucks.

I'm not exactly sure on all the differences, but some of the engine internals are different between the 320 and 328 as well. Software can get you up to 328 power levels, but that's about it unless you start changing parts around.

Why don't more people buy the 320i as a bargain and lighter version of the 328i and chip/turn up the boost for cheap(ish) horsepower?
