M-package on 4 and 6-cylinder

Bananenboom · 08-18-2005, 03:35 PM

Can you see the difference between a 4 and 6-cylinder with the M-package? The only thing is the different type of rims (4-cylinder 194 17", 6-cylinder 193 18"). But you can upgrade the 194 to 193.

If you have a non M-package car there are differences: chrome window trim, painted door handles, chrome grill. But can you still see the difference with the M-package?

The Grill and the exhaust pipes will still be different

Otherwise the only obvious things are the wheels and the badge on the back

Yes, you can upgrade the 194 to 193 wheels in UK for £430. Check the "build Your BMW" area on www.bmw.co.uk.

I found another difference on the UK website. Only the 330i would hava a "Matt titanium insert in front bumper valance". No other one has his, also the 330d doesn't. Would this be remarkable?

True on SE models but M-Sport models will be have same bumper.

There are some minor interior spec differences between UK 4 and 6 cylinder models regardless of trim level (SE vs M-Sport) such as nets on back of seats.

It was with the M-model. But I just saw the German September pricelist and there is no difference named.

4 cylinder cars do not have the chrome window trimmings as standard

But with the M-package all (4 and 6 cylinder) get the individual shadow line trim, so there is no difference.
