Need Advice to get either a 318i or 320i

[munk3ong]

Racun Mode = ON
I would say take the 320i if its a 6 cylinder... if you enjoy rounder finish to your car then this is external consideration... If just outlook you can choose latest version...
The newer 320i has the same engine as the 323 and the 325!!!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT THAT MEANS, RIGHT?? YES, if you get the ECU, Exhaust + manifold, and Oxygen sensors from a 325 and put it on your 320, you have just boosted the BHP to 175 and the torque to around the 260 mark

not newer N-4x/5x engine as de 2.0 is 4pot but 2.5 is 6pot, but you r spot on for e46 where de where M52TUB20 smallest displacement is 2.0
thus de racun is actually getting a 320i..and get de stroker from racunsing...hehe..den u have m52b20 with internals of b30...

tats y i like older BMW...more style on looks while having SuperSecretHiddenUnobstructive engine look

I had the same concerns way back in 2006 for my first UDM.

After much consideration, I opted for a easier but proven robust M43 for my E46. Since it was a year 2000 reg 2004, I took the liberty to get to know the brand and the beauty of the ultimate driving machine.

Owning cost throughout the years (until I had to sadly released it to a new owner here) was more of a wear & tear replacement issues. This was with the intention of a trouble free ownership. That set me back approx RM20k over 5 years.

I had no issue with reliability then, only off course it's just a 318 M43, I wasn't going for power. One thing for sure, FC was very good. This was the entry level BMW for me then. Additional RM20K on upgrades/accessories. It was a prefacelift stock condition and I did a conversion to facelift with original parts. It was a journey well learn with times of in & out of workshop!
