BMW has been recording appreciable sales figures for quite a while and the credit for this rise in sales is shared between BMW 3-Series and BMW 5-Series. As far as the Indian market is concerned the buyers are extremely content with the standard line-up of these highly successful sedans and have hardly explored the higher performance sides of the respective models.
Today BMW launched a performance model of BMW 320d called as BMW 320d Performance Edition which portrays a much brutal, meaner and powerful look. No special engine has been developed for the above, so it still sports the same 2.0 Liter heart but appreciable tuning has been performed to give it a new meaning.
Power and torque is what this special model offers and we bet, once you get your hands on one you won’t feel like getting out of it. As mentioned above the only interesting part about the car is it’s engine and a few unique features besides the standard features being offered with other 3-series models. the unique features include:-
- New Bodykits
- Performance stickers and De-cromed (especially the Kidney Grille)
- Aluminum Dash inserts
Briefly talking you through the car, the improved engine and exterior performance components together produce a maximum power of 184 HP and maximum torque of 380 Nm and give an improved top speed of 232 km/h compared to the regular 320d’s 174 HP and 350 Nm and top speed of 229 km/h.
