Fourth 2nd Gear October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 Hi bro, just to check, is there a difference in the build quality and handling between a 318 and say, a 320 or 323/325 (not the torque/HP)? Many thanks for advising! Maybe not much diff. However with the $$ for 318, there are many other car makes in this price range with good build quality, so I would say it may be a consideration but not a driving factor. Put this way, if Naza buy rights to 318 and re-badge it. Drop $10k and sell. Will it sell as well? Car build good what. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fourth 2nd Gear October 21, 2009 Share October 21, 2009 And to add... There is nothing wrong if one chooses to buy a car for brand to feel good. People feel better carrying LV versus cheaper brands, right? I will say 318/320 are good cars but they are paying premium for the brand name on top of it. I guess the word "Brand whore" is a little to strong hence the need for owners to defend their expensive purchase. On the other hand, the "word" was probably used to drive home the point.

Again, hehe, if can get 323, why not the 325? price gap is so small. If not, later on you modify this and that costs even more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't understand why some ppl would 1 2 buy 323 & later ask what r the mod to increase hp. What they don't know is that other than ECU, 323 & 325 uses difference DISA. Without 325 DISA & proper setup of it, it is not possible to gain the hp of 325. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Friendstar Supercharged October 25, 2009 Share October 25, 2009 harmless, perception ? this is what i meant by playing politics to get sympathy.
