    Re: Model 3 vs 330i

    So the 3 series win by a galactic mile. 

    It's cheaper,

    much lighter,

    runs longer in a tank of fuel,

    can be bought off the lot right away,

    as it's smaller and more maneuverable, 

    but it has a bigger trunk,

    As expected. 

    What were you trying to say again?

    OH, it gets to 30mph city speed faster also.

    Re: Model 3 vs 330i

    You're crazy. That 3er is a piece of shit. Loses in almost every respect, and that's before you consider autopilot.

    Gets to 30 quicker? 

    1. Unless you're leaving a stop sign, this is irrelevant because no one drives under 30 miles per hour in the United States anywhere other than a school zone, if that.

    2. It's .1 seconds quicker to 30 and then massively slower everywhere else.

    The 3-Series is several hundred pounds lighter, but it's still slower in the figure 8.

    I believe the cargo volume in the model 3 is actually way more too given in the seats folding down.


    Re: Model 3 vs 330i

    Yep looks like the model 3 wins in nearly every respect. Other than you can’t get one. I’d still wait for it.

    Re: Model 3 vs 330i

    BMW also has plenty of service centres and you're less likely to be stuck with an unserviceable and unsellable car due to the company going bankrupt, if you ever get it. Why did they pick the 330.and not the 340 for comparison? The Tesla gets its points via acceleration vs the mid 3er but has less cargo space? Also, I thought thought the $10K incentive was finished. Pretty weak comparison IMO. But, yea, Tesla!

    The BMW can also be bought - the Tesla is a concept study still...

    Re: Model 3 vs 330i

    I more and more like the Teslas. My Partner owns an S and he is very happy with it. He even wants to buy now a second as the wife wants one, too. The more I ride with him the more I get the itch. The car is really fast and powerful. And the interior gadgets are just cool. 

    I pre-ordered a Model 3, too. Not sure if I ever want to get it, or maybe go for the bigger ones. I even can see myself buying a Roadster. Somehow this car vanishes even the most adorable super sports cars. Its really the disruptor of the super-sportscars-market

    I feel that todays supersportcars performance is more or less to the limit, I think that this idea of the roadster will be ( if it comes to production) a problem to the old school manufacturer, dont get me wrong I prefer a screaming v12 all my life, but for 200K a car that will be the fastest ever in acceleration...that is something that makes me think about having one, and as he claiemed..it is only the base model, what the heck are they developing???

    did they invent a sort of gearbox?? otherwise how can it go up till 400 Kmh?? and with 1000 km at higway speeds ( ok it is 65 mph)...but still impressive...

    I think that for that money a loto will think about having one.....if only electricity was really made by 100% green sources...damn..that would be the deal...

    Sad to hear that!

    I couldn't be more happy with our daily family car. We own the XC90 now for almost one year and it is just great. Most relaxing and comfortable car ever. Not that it matters, but if you want it is even quiet fast. The car does everything it should do, low consumptive, driving electric in city is addictive, infotainment is probably second best after Tesla. Interior is gorgeous and the image is solid, too. 

    Would I buy one today - probably not. I would go for the Model X since they are able to deliver fold-able rear seats now. Other than that - the XC90 is an amazing car and I would always choose ahead of a Porsche, MB, or BMW.

    Hi Lars Smiley

    In theory the V40 is a great car, comfortable, safe and relaxing for my long daily drive to work - but it has been terribly fault prone - February this year off the road for two days due to modification of diesel bypass system; March I had an “airbag - urgent service required” warning, car taken away as told it was unsafe, Volvo dealer could find no fault even though it had registered in the car’s diagnostic memory, it came up again two months later but cleared in two days, in August it again reappeared but this time did not clear - car again taken away and at the dealers for a whole week, driver’s airbag module electrical fault, new airbag fitted. A month later the gear linkage failed in an area with no phone signal, by the time I had driven it - stuck in 6th gear - to where I could phone for assistance the clutch was burnt out, off the road for another week, and three weeks ago due to a fault in the diesel particulate filter regeneration the engine sump was overfilled with diesel. Smiley Smiley Smiley

    All in all the worst car I have ever owned for reliability. I’m replacing it with a Volkswagen Golf GTE plug in hybrid.

    This became an all too regular event!

    Re: Model 3 vs 330i

    We were totally unimpressed by the Volvo SUV we rented once, especially the driving dynamics...


    Re: Model 3 vs 330i

    My XC90 often throws tantrums about airbags, oil level, faulty bulbs, 4x4 failure, anti skid failure, had the alarm replaced as well as the rear view mirror console - worst fault was a worn suspension bush which caused it to track left or right on braking (you never knew which way!) however, it is a likeable old bus which I can't be bothered to replace.

    A good friend of ours has an XC-90, great for towing his huge caravan around, he’s had a few minor issues though.

    i’m retiring early next year so won’t need a diesel for mainly short tips so trading the Volvo & SWMBO’s Jazz in for the Golf.

    They cheated... Smiley

    Thing is: The Tesla S is considered a luxury car in Germany and regular people don't like it when tax payer money is used to support luxury cars. Nothing to do with pride, believe it or not. Germany "ticks" differently (we're not Switzerland Smiley Smiley).
