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 etc

2. 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.

On the highways, the 320d is FAST....! Even in slow traffic.....it is also fast! Am I making sense here? Like a hot knife through soft butter.......the 320d owners know what I am talking about. The 320i owners unfortunately, don't. If I were to bring a car in from overseas, I'll get a M3 or a 335i. Definitely not a 320i coupe, all looks and no power. The 320d UK version might not do well here in the Malaysia environment. Too many 'ifs' in the equations to bring in a 320d from the UK.

Even we human beings depreciate....degrade....die. Worse than cars, which are in many ways more immortal than us! Get the 320d now, don't waste your precious few years before you rejoin Elvis....

Cars don't really "die" ler, once 320d "died", transplant 335i/335d masuk ler, not to mention M3.
