Just drove a 328ci!

[NissanZ@af]

Hey,
I was hanging out with my friend today while his parents were gone, and we took his mom's 2000 328ci 5 speed out for a drive. My friend is only 15 and doesn't have his license yet, so he let me drive the car for quite a while, and man was I impressed. The car is simply amazing. It's an amazingly smooth and refined car to drive, yet has great power, speed, and handling. It was a little tough for me to get used to the way the car shifts because my Audi is so different, but after just a little while on the road, I got it down pretty good. I got it up to about 130 mph way out on some country roads. Even at that speed, it handles very very well. The 328ci is by far the nicest car that I've ever driven!

My parents bought me my '00 328ci..... it is really nice but now i wish they bought me a Supra, cause you can buy a supra for the same price, and a supra is a million times better

NissanZ, that's sweet. Sounds like a lot of fun. They say BMW's transmissions are among the best.

Damn gang$tar, you should be happy with what you get. A brand new 328 and your crying?? I guess you'll just have to wait until you inherit your dad's company to buy your supra eh?

[gang$tarr]

heh, yeah

or i could just sell the 328ci..... then my pops will gimme some extra money to mod it


what were the rolleyes for?

[my95cobras]

man those 328's are nice but the 330's have 40 more hp, mine can really get up and go!!!!!!

[SKYWLKR]

with a an E-cam ?


you really need to swap out that thing.

[hermunn123]

is the 328ci a convertible or 2 door coupe?? i don't know which one is which.... ic or ci

[gang$tarr]

328ci is the 2 door coupe (what i have)

[hermunn123]

what are the numbers on your 328? hp, torque, weight, displacement, etc.....

[gang$tarr]

it has 193hp, 206 torque, 2.8L and the weight is somewhere in the mid 3000s

I've heard lots about this 328ci except the colour gan$tarr, what is it anyways. Do you have any plans to get a new car soon.

[gang$tarr]

It's blue, I don't remember the actual name but it's like a pearly blue, it

I don't really have plans for a new car but I would consider alotta cars..... I'm hoping to get a Supra before I'm 18 so I can have Viper killer

Gangstarr, You've been watching too much Fast and Furious. First, a Supra would take a ton of mods to keep with the torque and launch of a Viper. Second, any parent allowing their kid to have such a car is a lunatic - how long have you had your training wheels off? Seriously, enjoy the bimmer....great car but terrible once its in the shop. My 2000 328i has been in and out for close to 3 mos. since I've owned it (approx. 2 yrs.). Step away from the rice if you want to race american. Nothing compares to straight up displacement and torque.

The supra has been my favorite car for a really long time.... and you can mod a supra to be faster than a mclaren, it's quite easy to mod a supra to be faster than a stock viper.... and around here i've never seen a modded viper, they're all stock. You really don't know what you're talkin about if you're callin a Supra rice... the term "rice" means a car that is made to look fast but really isn't and if you're sayin that is what a supra is, then that's just the dumbest thing i've ever heard
and the i haven't had any trouble with the bimmer and even if i did then my dad pays for it, so it doesn't matter to me

You said your dad would pay for it?!?! Exactly what I'm talking about - writing checks your butt can't cash. Thats a prettybrash statement regarding the McLaren. First off, a McLaren is not a production machine and until there is substantiated fact regarding your supposed 'mods' I would shut up. You apparently haven't driven many cars. Sure, a supra is quick and probably has a lot of go but only with a ton of boost. They simply don't deliver enough low end torque for off the line launch with a Hennessey Viper. As for the Viper mods, you apparently don't read much either. Hennessy has an 880hp Viper twin turbo with 0-100 times in the mid 6's. Once again, your age shows your stupidity. Do some research before mouthing off.
