Sport and SE help please

[RJelley]

Hi all,

I've been trawling for an 01/02 330Ci sport, but can does anyone know what the differences are between the Sport and the SE?

many thanks,

Russ

Sport has different (firmer) suspension, bodykit, 18" alloys and sports seats.

Depends who you speak to, but some say the ride is harsher on the sport, others will say it is much firmer, but better. I have the Sport (53 facelift 330Ci Sport) and find it firm, but not too much so. The 18" wheels can induce tramlining and a degree of bump steer. That said, I would always buy the Sport over the SE as I believe it looks muck more purposeful.

Test drive both if you can and judge for yourself.

Wife has an 02 plate Sport. Compared to a previous SE, the difference in ride, compared to the difference in confidence it gives you at speed, is well worth it. It is a little bit harsher, but within a day you get used to it.

Recommended.

I have an SE but with the 'sports' pack. It has sports seats and sports suspension but isn't an M-Sport.

Sport also has a much better steering wheel.
