What's the difference between BMW 320i Executive and Sport aside from the trimmings and seats? In terms of handling, how do they differ? which is more comfortable? which is a better deal? I'm naive when it comes to cars so I want to ask for your inputs, would greatly appreciate them. thanks.

sport tuned suspension usually means the suspension is stiffer, hence the ride is usually more harsh. ideal for spirited driving/carving corners. in addition to a different suspension set-up, different set of tires and larger breaks are usually part of the package. BMW may not necessarily offer the same type of package, but in general when you say sport it usually means a different set of tires, breaks, suspension, and perhaps an "upgraded" cat back exhaust.
i don't think we have an "executive" model here in america, so i don't know much about that particular model. but i think it was designed to give the driver/passenger a more comfort/luxurious ride, hence the term "executive". maybe the suspension is softer. anybody can correct me if i'm wrong.
imho, the sport BMW suspension is ideally tuned to be firm yet comfortable. think of a ride almost as smooth as a Lexus, but really showing its sporting character when you throw the car around a corner.
the only difference is that when you go over a series of bumps, the Lexus or Benz will insulate you from the shock more effectively. with the Bimmer medyo nararamdaman mo pa.
if you are coming from a non-luxury car like an Accord, Camry or Maxima, you'll love the comfort and luxury of the Bimmer cockpit
none of those cars are cushy and comfortable like your favorite sofa, however. for that kind of ride comfort go with a Cadillac, Lincoln or Chrysler 300C. however, be prepared for a little motion sickness

thanks sir, thinking hard kasi talaga between the 2 variants. e syempre po ang nakikita ko lagi pag tungkol sa sport-tuned e matigas daw (EVO, Subaru, etc.) kaya nga syempre gusto kong malaman kung gaano talaga. baka naman mas matagtag pa ang Camry o Accord nga, e wala ng pag-aalinlangan na dapat BMW320i Sport ang aking kuhanin. sabagay, pag sport ang kinuha ko, hindi ko na malalaman ang ride comfort ng executive. at syempre papairalin ko na lang ang power of suggestion na dahil Bimmer ito , talagang super lambot. di na mapapansin ni esmi. hehehe.
....i dont think sport tuned ang suspension ng sport variant dito (or is it?). trimmings lang talaga.
mukhang tama ka pare. kasi tinitignan ko kanina yung link sa taas. walang reference na upgraded suspension ang "sport" edition compared sa "executive." i think trims lang. at saka bakit I-6 ang "executive" at I-4 lang ang "sport?" ano pa bang silbi na inilagay ng BMW yung terminology na "sport" kung wala namang ni isang qualities na nakalagay para matawag na "sport" sya?? marketing strategy nga naman oo..
e kung gusto ni esmi ng super comfortable na parang sofa, dadalhan ko na lang sya sa loob ng kotse ng maraming unan.
brand concious ka ba pare? kung hindi, at ang primary concern mo ay comfort, bumili ka ng Sport Utility Vehicle na ang chasis ay based sa kotse. for example, Toyota Highlander. it's marketed as an SUV pero ang chasis ay based from a car (Camry) kaya ang ride very smooth compared to other SUVs. or better yet, bumili ka ng conversion van. may lazy-boy na sofa sa loob at tv. that is like riding in a leer jet on four wheels.

magkakaroon po kami ng Sta Fe at Tucson. the reason why I like BMW 3 e bago pa ang design nya. saka para maiba naman po ng konti at makatikim din kahit papaano ng german engineering.
btw bosing, i don't feel that there's a big difference in the sport and non-sport versions of the bimmer suspension. there are some physical differences, but in real world performance there isn't a huge difference in cornering or in ride comfort.
the big advantage of the sport package in the US is the absolutely excellent sport bucket seats....they were well worth the extra 500 bucks i paid for the whole package. it also comes with the m68 style wheels which i liked a lot better than the non-sport wheels.
Executive or Sport?
