Both are top of the line variants and the 320d SportLine costs around $69,000 with the Power Performance Kit and the 328i costs $75,000 on the road. The equipment level in both the cars are more or les exactly the same. The fuel scene here in India is opposite as compared to the United States. The Petrol costs higher than the diesel and the availability of good quality Petrol is rare. Usually it's 89 RON Petrol all over.

Here are my questions;

- How would the 320d with the Power Performance Kit and Performance Exhaust perform against the stock 328i running on 89 RON petrol?

- The claimed figure of the 328i to 100 by the company is 6.1 secs which is tested on 98 RON Petrol. By how much will it deteriorate if 89 RON Petrol is used?

- Can the 328i go into limp mode with regular use of 89 RON fuel ?

Thanks in advance.
Um, I dunno what "US" scene you're talking a out but the one I live in, petrol is almost always more expensive/gallon than diesel
