Compare models? spec?

Big Nelly

Hi Guys

Quick one, talking to guy today and he has a 318D coming into stock. It is 2011 but he said it is older model

Just wondering is there website where you can compare models? spec etc of older cars? not just BMW's but Audi etc

Also to compare the features on different types within the range?

Would it show pics to show the difference in looks? or am I looking for too much

Thanks

parkers.co.uk will have UK standard specs which in BMW are the same as Irish specs. They will not tell you if the car is fitted with extras though.

On the 3 Series the base model is the ES, the next up is the SE and then the M Sport. In 2010/2011 they also introduced special edition models called Exclusive and Business which were based on the SE but added leather seats and different alloy wheels. ES and SE look pretty identical from the outside but the M Sport sits lower to the ground, has a sportier body kit and generally larger alloy wheels. You can spec any of these up with factory extras so that an ES can be better equipped than a standard SE.

It is the Exclusive model....2011

I looked at the E90 which I think is the model

I think the newer is the F30?

In terms of looks there doesn't seem to be a huge difference.....

The Touring is called the E91 and F31. While they don't look massively different, there is a big difference inside. The newer F3x is much larger inside than the older E9x. The quality of the cabin is much better in the F3x too. F3x only launched in 2012 though.
