BMW 330i: Run-flat Redux
Comments (11)
A few posts ago, I briefly mentioned our 330i's run-flat tires (RFT) and the ongoing online debate about them on various message boards, including our own Carspace.

Let's get the bad news out of the way first. The 3.0-liter in-line six in our Four Seasons BMW 330i suffered a major mechanical failure.

makes its world debut today at the Los Angeles International Auto Show and the BMW ALPINA ROADSTER V8 makes its North American debut today. Also featured, making its first appearance at the Los Angeles Auto Show, is the all-new Z4 Roadster. BMW 330i ...

The BMW 330i Sedan is jammed with interior features for you comfort and convenience. Power windows, dual power mirrors, power door locks, and keyless entry system are just some examples.

At that racetrack, Infiniti made available for comparison a BMW 330i and Lexus IS 350 (both 2006 models).

Topping the range is the BMW 330i featuring the most powerful, yet lightest, six-cylinder engine in its class - the same engine that powers the recently launched BMW 630i Coupe.

0-litre, but cheaper than a similarly powered BMW 330i. As with all tuning outfits, development never stops, and for fans of performance Saabs there's more good news to come. Because of the firm's link with GM, many of the power boosts used in the 2.

Approx 20 inches longer than my BMW 330i. Comparing the 2 driving capability is remarkably the same. Honestly! I owned 2 330i's and this car is very much the same steer and drive as my I6 BMW was.

The interior isn't as large as some of its rivals in the hatchback class, and those with families may have to opt for the larger and significantly more expensive BMW 330i sedan if the 3.

0 litre luxury cars, the Alfa Romeo 166 is priced at $79,900, the Audi A4 is $80,500, a BMW 330i will set you back $91,600, the Jaguar X Type SE is $84,450, the Peugeot 607 is $79.990 and the Citroen C5 Exclusive is a keen $56,990.

The direct competitors include the Audi A4 S-line (the S4 is out of the TL Type-S's bracket), BMW 330i Sport, Infiniti G35, Lexus IS 350, Saab 9-3 Aero, and the Volvo S60 R.

At this price point, there's nowhere for the CTS to hide; the financial damage places Caddy's self-proclaimed "sports sedan" smack dab in the middle of BMW 330i territory.

78 pounds-per-horsepower, a better ratio than the BMW 330i, the Lexus IS 300 and the Acura TL Type-S, each of which carries a higher manufacturer's suggested base price. (The G35 also returns 19 mpg in town and 24 on the highway.) ...

Even at a theoretical level, those figures appear to be quite a sizeable penalty for a car that supposedly competes with the faster and more frugal BMW 330i Touring with Steptronic transmission, which appears to have a similar price tag.
