i wouldnt go that far mate... ok its got the worst economy(i get 250miles to a tank) but being a 2.0ltr m20 the engine should last longer than a 325(its got to do less work)johnna wrote:2.0 m20, the worst ever BMW engine by all accounts....

That is exactly the problem I find with the 320i, to get it going anywhere, it has to be thrashed, where as the 325i is effortless.Zayyan wrote:Surely it's got a harder job as there's less torque and powere30bmlover wrote:i wouldnt go that far mate... ok its got the worst economy(i get 250miles to a tank) but being a 2.0ltr m20 the engine should last longer than a 325(its got to do less work)johnna wrote:2.0 m20, the worst ever BMW engine by all accounts....
