Civic6228 6th Gear January 14, 2013 Share January 14, 2013 Look at this Nazi brute! AMG is pumping more and more testosterone into Mercedes Benz cars! Very macho now! TS asking about C180 and 316i ..... you post pic for the facelift E ..... I would go for the F30 316i as it is the newer model.... W204 started production in Y2007 and should be expecting a all new model soon. Only issue is that the 316i has only 136 BHP and the C180 output is 156 BHP.

Many NA 1.6L can churn out around that amount of bhp nowadays.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Civic6228 6th Gear January 14, 2013 Share January 14, 2013 (edited) 316i only 136 bhp?? It's TC right?? Many NA 1.6L can churn out around that amount of bhp nowadays.. Same engine as 116i .... no 318i as the specs would be too close to 320i. I cannot remember the 0 to 100 km/h .. I think the 316i is about 9 sec ... not bad.

Wow, like this also someone can purchase a luxury car? You are almost buying online liao (without doing any ground work)! Yes, it is 136hp only and 0-100 is 8.9s (Not bad) Go through the following link for further details http://www.pml-bmw.com.sg/asia_dl/sg_en/ne...technical_data/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
inlinesix Supersonic January 14, 2013 Share January 14, 2013 Since already pay close to $200k, why not buy 320? It made no sense to buy 316. Don't tell me because FC or road tax. Lastly, BMW is the toy. Not what is inside the car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Turbocharged January 14, 2013 Share January 14, 2013 Though TS asking for opinion of 316 vs C180, Agree with what someone mention, why not go for the next higher, 320 vs C200? Since the difference in COE btn CAT A and B now quite small, unlike previuosly where is abt $20K +/-..... Unless the actual selling price is still huge, like $20K more expensive....
