E92 320i (2010) or E92 320d (2010) ??

[doc9802]

Hi..I am planning to bring back a bmw coupe m sport from the UK..but not sure which two of these models 320i or 320d is a better bet..Both models comes with risk..1. E92 320i - there is a very big and long thread in e90 post forum uk,(http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=136258) discussing about what looks to me like a faulty engine design (4cylinder) mainly issue with fuel injectors/coil packs, ECU, software etc2. E92 320d - there is nothing major discussed with regards to this model's engine reliability in e90 post forum uk.. but there is risk of using Malaysia Diesel 2M on a UK E92 320d engine (especially with the newer models with efficiency dynamics as these is made for Diesel 3M/4M)..I have been trying to look for any major complaints with regards to diesel incompatiblity but could not really find one..really hope if someone can tell me about their experience/problems/issue using a diesel engine from UK/Europe (which is specifically made for Diesel 3M/4M)..I would really appreciate oppinions on which car is the least risky to bring to Malaysia E92 320i (2010) or E92 320d (2010) urgently as I am planning to purchase it next week.

maybe you can consider the 6-pots instead 4-pots engine...

The local 320d/X1/X3 are the 177hp and 184hp variants with DPF removed. Otherwise everything else is identical. We do not have the 163hp ED version.

If you do bring a 6-potter, you'll have to stick to the 330d which is already here in the 530d and X5 3.0d guise.

Good luck.

So i guess E92 320d is a better one to bring back instead of 320i..

If i'm bringing e92 320d back, can the DPF be removed by local mechanics??

wondering if the 320d coupe engine are different than 320d sedan engine..

Bring the 335d coupe back if you want to bring any car back....or the 335si coupe.

 

[DJH]

Dude, if u r bringing cars, might as well go for higher version. It is not that the price differ so much there anyway

 

[ice pop]

Bring the 335d coupe back if you want to bring any car back....or the 335si coupe.

yes i agreed 335i is the best i standing up for u .follow wat mr docrayboy told u just do it.

 

[Fadhlan]

Bring home the 335i E92 coupe.

 

[mikeyC]

no point of bringing 320i/d back; bring the 'Beast' of its class, 335i/d coupe or sedan either is good choice...good luck

If i'm bringing e92 320d back, can the DPF be removed by local mechanics??

No they would have no clue. Get it removed in the UK.

many people would love to be in your shoes with that AP in hand.
go for broke, bring in at least a 335i/d. better still, consider the M's.

btw, spamming = annoying. do also put in an introduction of yourself in the newbies section so that the forum gets to know you.
