Luckily I haven’t book 320i yet
Now contemplating should i get 330i or just stick to original plan, 320i
But honestly it isn’t that bumpy tho..

Nope, most driving is done under 110kmh, the 330i's 400Nm makes it a very easy drive

"Effortlessly quick"

Dont menyesal, save couple tens of thousands and buy an interior car. We are not talking extra 250k (price of a new BMW) for the M340i CBU, we are just talking about 50k extra which will give a satisfying performance

You drive 320i, and feel ever so slightly that the car could use more torque, and you will kick yourself for choosing an interior option.

Torque is important for acceleration, which is important to wiggle through the traffic and at times overtaking

You need to compare the torque curves between the 330i vs 320i B48s, if you feel that the higher torque is "useless", maybe you dont need to be at places quick enough

Im not talking about speeding, but to beat the traffic, especially beating cars that are hogging the lanes. Torque is important, if not try driving a 120Nm car on the road and you will feel like crap

290Nm vs 400Nm is huge, just pay for the 330i which is only rm50k extra. But if you opt for the 320i, you will feel bad once you tried the 330i. I have tried both, and the 320i felt underwhelming.

In the end, to each his own, maybe some people don't need anything more than 100Nm, from which there is always used 318i F30 in the market.

P/s you are mistaken about the full pedal thing, you need to try the 330i G20 and turn on the sports display to see the torque numbers when driving

20 to 60kmh is important to me, that is not racing. Any cars can get to 200kmh eventually, the important q is how quickly will it get there

Like i said, perhaps an NA proton persona will do it for you, or perhaps the 1.5L 318i. 50k is nothing for what you get. From where I am, you are throwing money down the drain with the 320i. And depreciation? If care about this no need buy Bimmer la

Yo man, city driving is not just klcc. I mainly use 4 highways: mex, elite/nkve, LDP and Kesas. Some of these highways are considered as city-highways, some stretches have speed traps so top speed can be useless or detrimental

But these highways have a lot of road hoggers too, especially LDP. To beat them, you need high torque

Im doing sales, i drive to 4 different corners of KV almost everyday, i know the importance of good cars. Office-based boys perhaps will feel differently

But that's the point you are missing, the 400Nm torque is required to wiggle through the traffic, not so much for high-speed (thats more on max HP)

With high torque I get good acceleration to wiggle through the moving-but slow traffic. I think I know why you think torque is not too important. It explains all your replies so far
