Got a 318i sport plus touring as a courtesy car

As per the title my e92 325d msport is In the stealers getting a new steering rack and they have given me a 318i m sport touring edition in sapphire black. I have to admit
Its pretty good! Doesn\'t have much poke about it but does the job nicely without much fuss. The edition models are lovely with the blue stitching and gun metal alloys. It makes for an excellent family car loads of room in the back and decent boot! I do miss my e92 tho, if it\'s not back by next week I\'m apparently getting a 520d msport which should be good!

Dito:
Most of the forums are full of people with large engine cars who seem to have a downer on 2.0lts. The power plant will make a difference in performance but also in cost. My last car had a road fund licence costing 415 per year and I got about 22 mpg. What a nice change my 2.0lt bmw is. I can still pass most things in my small engine car!!!!!!!!

I totally agree with you both, yes the 2.0ltr does have it's problems but in gerneral is is a good solid engine and well with petrol prices and road tax always increasing then I am quite happy.

Had a diesel 320 before the pertrol and although it is a great engine I don't regret going for the 320i at all.

Ditto here. Diesel gives you more torque, yes. But in terms of out right performance, just compare the 318i to the 318d - the 318d costs more as well.
