BMW 328 vs. Porsche 911 Review

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The BMW 3 Series is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the Porsche. The BMW 3 Series is tremendously less expensive than the Porsche when it comes to MSRP.

Utility
Neither the BMW 3 Series nor the Porsche 911 has a marked advantage when it comes to seating capacity.

Dimensions
The 3 Series is a bit more ponderous than the 911. The BMW 3 Series's tank is approximately the same size as the Porsche's, though the Porsche's is slightly more capacious. The Porsche 911 and the BMW 3 Series compete for the same parking spaces. The 911's shorter wheelbase will likely give a nimbler feel in daily traffic. However, the 3 Series is likely to have a smoother, more stable ride.

Performance
With that kind of horsepower, the 911 is a veritable speedster.

Handling
The Porsche 911 has quite a bit bigger tires than the 3 Series. Keep in mind that wider tires could improve handling, while smaller tires may improve gas mileage.

Drivetrain
The Porsche 911's engine is substantially more sizeable than the 3 Series's. Keep in mind that more massive engines may use more gas than smaller ones. The Porsche packs quite a wallop compared to the BMW 3 Series in terms of torque, which is roughly equivalent to acceleration. The BMW 3 Series could learn a lesson or two from the Porsche as far as torque.

Overview
The Porsche 911 and the BMW 3 Series have the same basic warranty.
