Compare the 2016 BMW 320i vs 328i Price & Specs

Serving Ramsey, Ridgwood, and Mahwah, NJ

For more than three decades, the BMW 3-series has been the standard by which all entry-level luxury sports sedans have been judged. For 2016, it remains at the top of the list for buyers who want maximum driving pleasure and involvement in a practical, sporty package available in a number of alternative trims. An ideal 50/50 forward/rear weight distribution helps provide unmatched handling. The 2016 lineup features several important upgrades, including new front struts, redesigned power steering and new rear dampers. A Track Handling package has been added with variable sport steering. The basic differences between the 320i and the 328i are the engine and transmission.

SHARED FEATURES

The BMW 3-series with its twin-kidney-shaped grille is an unmistakable descendent of a styling heritage developed over more than 30 years. Yet the current model is taller, longer and has a more defined look, with handsome creases and character lines. The cabin is typical of BMW design, with upscale materials and simple layouts that are intuitive to use. For example, the 7-degree angle of the central controls puts them in easy reach of the driver. The interior is spacious for its class, with plenty of legroom for rear passengers. Both front row occupants can use the iDrive controlled mounted on the console, and both can easily view the high-res central screen. Standard features in the base models include adjustable front seats, leatherette upholstery, remote keyless entry, dual-zone climate control, a 6.5-inch LCD display, a 9-speaker sound system, USB Port, Bluetooth connectivity and HD Radio. You can opt for leather seats, upgraded audio system, navigation, moonroof and a hands-free power trunklid. Safety features include eight airbags, whiplash-reducing active head restraints and impact sensors, plus available surround view camera, head-up display, AWD and adaptive cruise control. Both cars share a 5-Star Overall Safety Rating.

DIFFERENCES

Both sedans are equipped with a 2.0L turbo I4 engine with high-precision direct injection and Valvetronic technology. The 328i also includes Double-VANOS technology, a lower compression ratio, a higher standard axle ratio, and delivers an additional 60 horsepower and 25 lb-ft of torque. The 320i comes with an 8-speed automatic transmission and delivers an extra 2 mpg fuel economy. The 328i offers a standard 6-speed manual, but the automatic transmission is a no-cost option. Some equipment that is optional on the 320i but standard on the 328i include dual power front seats and folding rear seat. The 328i tires have a slightly lower profile, and when equipped with the manual transmission, the 328i tips the scales 50 pounds lighter.
