328/330i Should I get a '16, a '17 or an '18?

jharris91 · 08-26-2018, 11:28 PM

Any big advantages between these years? I like that the '16 328 still has the beige interior (not mostly black with a little beige) and headliner isn't black. Is the '17/18's engine really different?

Thanks Jim

I would take the 328 with the n20 engine over the 330 and sacrifice the 1 extra mpg or whatever it is.

N26 engine has many design improvements. Suggest to look at the model year with N26 engine. But B48 is even better with redesigned timing chain.
