328d 2017 vs 2018

Red_Rover · 04-15-2020, 04:51 PM

If you were looking for a model year 2017 or 2018 328d is there anything you'd definitely want to see or not want to see with the car? (package/options wise, wear & tear, mileage, mechanical, etc.)

2018s got the sensatec dash and 6WB digital cluster. If you're getting an F31, the 2018s removed the cargo divider.

Mechanically they're pretty much the same. 2018s should have the latest rev HPFPs and diff, but 2017s haven't had issues with the ones they got. It'd be nice to have the latest rev HPFP, but not absolute requirement, and the diff versions wouldn't matter at all to me.

As far as packages, the tech package (HUD and 8.8" screen) are requirements for me.
