As long as you’re not bothered by the fact that not all cars should rightfully sound like they’re packing 400 or more HP, this 320i GT might just inspire you to make some changes to your regular family car.
Interesting how the owner of this entry-level 3-Series GT decided that such an underrated car needed to stand out more and pretty much be heard coming a mile away. The 3-Series GT is in fact such a great car, you can make a case for it belonging in the same “class” as the 5-Series GT, Nissan GT-R and Skoda Superb – and by class I mean somewhat of a great all-round product (the best of both worlds and even more worlds), regardless of segment.
To be fair, you can’t exactly call the 320i GT a slow car. It’s got 184 PS and 270 Nm (199 lb-ft) and weighs around 1,615 kg (3,560 lbs), which means that it will hit 100 km/h (62 mph) in 7.9 seconds thanks to BMW engineering.
Those aren’t bad numbers at all – add the Armytrix exhaust, good for an extra 11.6 PS and 15.7 Nm, and the Armytron tuning box, which adds another 41.5 PS and 63.7 Nm and you end up with 237 PS and 349 Nm (257 lb-ft) coming from that turbocharged four cylinder engine.
It’s pretty much the same torque you get in the 328i GT, though slightly less power (by 8 PS). All in all, you should be hitting that 100 km/h mark in a little over 7 seconds with this car tuned as advertised.
So what about the noise? You should know that Armytrix does some pretty amazing stuff when it comes to exhaust notes, which is something that stands out even on this 2.0-liter engine.
But we’ll just let “the noise” do the talking so that you can draw your own conclusions.
