I’m driving a Nissan 370z at the moment which I love in a lot of aspects but hate also in a lot of aspects.
Of course it’s a sports car. V6, great road feeling, power etc.
But I’m getting old and want something more comfortable that doesn’t take up a third of my salary every month.
I’ve been looking at a lot of different cars over the last few months and I’m now on the verge of buying an G20 320i Limousine sports line.
I really like the modern aesthetics, it’s very comfy and I like the fuel consumption. Of course it’s a lot slower than my Nissan and the emotions while driving are low because of the R4 but i want to spend less money on my car and still drive something nice.
I already looked up fuel costs, insurance, tax.
Something I can’t get costs of is the reliability of the car.
In my opinion a lot more electronic systems in new cars always have a higher chance to fail which kinda scares me. The B engine should be good, I read online the N engines did have quite some problems.
Are there any problems you know of I should watch out for?
2020 model, 80k km, 320i sports line for 28k € Plan is to put all weather tires on and daily it, 20k km/year
Stock photo btw.
I have a 340 and it is more expensive, but it is an amazing car. I had a loaner 330 for a month (repairs on the 340 from an accident), and it is surprisingly fun in the city if you want a upgrade from the 320. However, compared to 340, the 330 (and 320) are more front biased in their awd which makes them less fun to push at higher speeds. Im in the same position that i want my next car to be less expensive (looking for a house). Im looking at the 230, it looks like its a good compromise between sportiness, price and comfort. I think it would suit your needs too. Depending on where you live you can have it in rwd ;)
The 330 and 320 are definitely not “more front biased in their AWD”. They have the exact same AWD ad the 340. It depends if the LSD is equipped in the 330 or not, but that would be the only difference.
