I can hear knocking sound everytime going through bump! there is a slight lag in the pick up even in sports mode but the lag is acceptable to me since i hardly drive fast. The only time I drive in sport mode is when the road is really empty and when I feel like getting some thrill. So, at the end of the day, it really depends on your driving style. If you are a fast driver or seeks for thrill, then the best to go with 320. if u're an 'uncle' driver like me, 316 will do i guess. one more thing is, the petrol consumption is high when in sports mode. I see the fuel meter drop real fast. I'm wondering is it because of the extra power required by the 1.6 engine to drag the heavy body. Is this normal too for 320? i see from the the idrive my fc is 8.9l/100km. not sure how accurate is this. the first 2 times i fill up the tank the EB shows 800km, but now it only shows 730km for full tank. is this normal??</blockquote>
