But I see the 5.3s 0-60 on the xDrive35i (Isn't it also a similar twin scroll turbo, just on a v6?) compared to the 6.3s on the xDrive but I'm really not sure when 1s would make a difference, any scenarios other than racing or bragging rights where 6.3 wouldn't be fast enough but 5.3 would?
For some reason I have in my memory that power seats are usually the first thing to fail on a bmw...
I really which you could retro fit adaptive xenon lamps and dimming exterior sideview mirrors for under $2k, I'd do that in a heartbeat and just go for the xDrive28i. |
Yeah, dimming sideviews are nice.
The N55 is a straight 6, and is a fantastically smooth.
For me, the N55 advantage was acceleration at higher speed, i.e. overtaking at highway speeds.
In all my BMWs, every single one having power seats, I never had a problem. If you are the only driver, then you'll use them a few times and probably hardly ever use them again.
If you absolutely must have Xenons (I do) you've gotta spec them, as a retrofit is horribly expensive.
