318i will be far better imo, the 320 is a 6 pot so consumption will be higher! with performance not being that much different! Hopefully someone will back that up or tell me im wrong as dont know much about thew 320 lump!!!

Johnny the 4 pot vs 6 pot argument is an old and never ending one which is always raging on some thread or another - its down to personal preference - you need to drive both and see which you prefer mate !

Whatever you end up buying there will be people on here who like it and people who won't - but as long as YOU like it who gives a monkeys !!!

I think my 325i is great but its never gonna win any concours prizes and a beige chromer is never going to be at the top of anyones wish list !

Happy hunting and make sure you post some pics of whatever you buy :D
