Well didn't you hit the 6-CCL fairly quickly in the older cars? I think my '98 323i was a 6-cyl (model before the e46 I think). After that it was 330s mostly. These days even the 330 is a 4-cyl for emissions I presume. That was one reason why I went for the 320 - I'd have loved the sound of a 6-cyl engine but you had to go up too far in the range to get one compared to before.
So it should be a fairly natural progression for more members to have 4 cylinder engines as time goes on. |

Agreed, the siren call of a new car is strong no doubt about that. I do quite fancy a GC which is more money again new so for the mileage I might look at perhaps an 18 month or 2 year old one of those a bit further down the track. Interestingly there are a fair few 435is kicking about on the AUC site but very few 335i tourings. |

The acs package looks very appealing and gets you most of the way there I guess., though I think I would be tempted to put the 2k into a 330i instead.

2015 onwards B48 engine in the LCI....like the B58 340i but with 4 cylinders (and does have a turbo.) It's called a modular engine because they use a lot of the same parts.
330i is the same B48 engine with different software giving it higher bhp. This is unlike the 328i which had a slightly different engine to the older 320i. I have had it in the 320i auto from new and now have it in the 420i GC auto which I bought new. It's a great engine, smooth and very economical on fuel (I average 39 mpg of mixed driving). If is was so bad I wouldn't have bought it in the 4 series. 2.0 litre turbo 181 bhp (184 PS), 270Nm torque in auto and 290Nm in manual, 0.60 in 7.2s.....yes really crap...not.

Super fun to drive now and makes decent progress, so it's tuneable. Just don't go to a tuner that will push it much beyond 270bhp and you won't have issues on stage 1. Armaan |
