Mercury1 Turbocharged June 22, 2015 Author Share June 22, 2015 The 3GT is an indent car though starts at 320 so should be least 200k + min, but to be honest the depreciation and resale for that car is very bad. Heard an associate of mine got a 2nd hand near new one for 170k (328). Suggest you go for a traditional f10 or if die die have to go 3gt consider 2nd hand? yup. If 3-series saloon can go for $170k, 3-GT can also $170k? ↡ Advertisement 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wt_know Supersonic June 22, 2015 Share June 22, 2015 (edited) 320 power by 4 cyclinder - 184/270 vs 184/290 = +20Nm 330 power by 4 cyclinder - 245/350 vs 252/350 = +7bhp 340 power by 6 cyclinder - 306/400 vs 326/450 = +20bhp & +50Nm .... but 335i sounds nicer leh ... lol rebadge 328i to 330i ... owner sure feel more shiok But it’s under the bonnet where the LCI 3er starts to differ greatly from the pre-facelift – the new engine lineup derived from BMW’s latest modular engine family is fully Euro 6-compliant. At the base of the range sits a new 136 hp/220 Nm B38 1.5 litre petrol three-pot that powers the 318i, reducing CO2 emissions by more than 13% over the previous 316i. Higher up, the new B48 2.0 litre petrol four-pot in the 184 hp/290 Nm 320i and the 252 hp/350 Nm 330i (née 328i) is either torquier (320i) or more powerful (330i) than before, yet it’s also cleaner and more efficient. Topping the cooking range for now is a new 326 hp/450 Nm B58 3.0 litre straight six in the 340i, replacing the current N55 unit in the outgoing 306 hp/400 Nm 335i. New Engine though, that alot is a major change for an LCI. Edited June 22, 2015 by Wt_know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury1 Turbocharged June 22, 2015 Author Share June 22, 2015 Maybe PML will offer that service for a fee LOL, do outside later void engine warranty ! Strange the 330 and 328 have same torque figures, the longer stroke should provide more low end torque, I'm not an engine expert but I wonder if a longer stroke on the new engine makes it harder to mod, I would assume the shaft being longer (and thinner) will be prone to more stress which would be bad if the boost was too high? 320 power by 4 cyclinder - 184/270 vs 184/290 = +20Nm 330 power by 4 cyclinder - 245/350 vs 252/350 = +7bhp 340 power by 6 cyclinder - 306/400 vs 326/450 = +20bhp & +50Nm .... but 335i sounds nicer leh ... lol rebadge 328i to 330i ... owner sure feel more shiok Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Resale bad due to popularity right? lot of 5 Series GT on SGCM though. I prefer hatch to saloon so 3GT better than saloon for me and active wing is chio Edited June 22, 2015 by 7hm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercury1 Turbocharged June 22, 2015 Author Share June 22, 2015 Yeah resale is bad due to popularity, at one time sgcm had a lot of 3gt for sale rumour was the dealers slash the pricing to clear stock. For 3GT is based on the 5 series platform, that said if the car's look is what you're after its a great family car. Legroom of a 7 series with the size of a 5 series with great boot space. 5 GT ain't as pretty as the 3GT IMO SGCM bo 3GT List price starts at 239k for 320i turismo.

If the cc is the same, longer stroke usually means the torque comes earlier but also end earlier. The opposite is also true. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury1 Turbocharged June 22, 2015 Author Share June 22, 2015 I suppose the turbo can help assist on the higher end torque for long stroke engines, question is what happens if you add more boost against stock (I.e piggyback, Ecu remap etc) can the piston handle it? Hrmm If the cc is the same, longer stroke usually means the torque comes earlier but also end earlier. The opposite is also true. I would imagine it would be the same as 320 with NBT Idrive, at most would be additional sun roof and hud (big maybe) check out the sgcm for pics on the ones sold. dun think many forummers familiar with the 3gt? what kind of equipment they load on 320i GT anyone know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
