BMW E93 320i Cabriolet

[Soonmunn]

Very nice shots...at the right angles too to bring out the best lines of the cab..and of coz its a very nice car. But sorry i think the coupe looks nicer...and the cab is also heavier than the coupe so pick-up wont be great on a 320i cab.

 

But on singapore roads you wont feel the diff....its 20-30kph daily during peak hours...so ferget i mentioned that.

 

Great shots....nice cab

Hi, am considering to get a cab like this. May I know what is the FC like? Any other info about this or about a cab for a first timer is greatly appreciated.

Car is heavier with Folding Metal Roof.expect 9km/L...for the 2.0.if you take the 6 Cyls models,8km/L...are expected,inspect the Folding Roof properly,very costly repair if failed.

320 is a 2.0 NA block. 8km/l FC.

I think FC shouldn't b your only concern. this has known high EO consumption and an overhaul may b necessary to drive the next 10 yrs. aircon if gone will be a 2-3k replacement, its a full job dismantle dashboard type.

gearbox, DME typical time for a bmw part to fail.

lastly see your usage. if its daily ride heavy usage, a COE car will mean more maintenance than newer car. so u can really burn quite a lot on top of the 7k depn.

You cannot. But if there may be a catch at the motor to 'uncatch' the lock. Not easy to reach tho.

Hi, wish to chk if is ok to use tire size 205/40R18 for an E93 or stick to 225/40R18?

So call downsize, any implication?

Why downsize?

Odo will be off

p.s. The wheel should be 8J.  Minimum width should be 215.
