I'll definately be doing some reading as well.As much as i yearn for a powerful 325, 330; the cost of road tax is not something i am willing to fork out. Hence the 318 2.0 is more of my choice. You are right bro, i test drove the 318 1.9, and the car felt under powered. The later N42B20 and N46B20 engines in 318 would do fine as my daily communte. 2.0 is the max i'm willing to for now ... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />Now, since I am considering my options of a used 9-10yr older E46, would that mean there is a likely higher risk of tranmission & enginer failures? as opposed to a newer 5 - 6 yrs old E90</blockquote>
