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.

    You can just remap 320i and get similar performance to 330i remapped . Same engine

      No it’s not lol… smaller turbo, weaker pistons, smaller rods, smaller injectors and small HPFP. Meanwhile, 330i gets pistons and rods from m340i and new supra, bigger turbo, HPFP from m340i and new supra, as well as its basically a b58 with two less cylinders… so super tunable with a downpipe and turbo upgrade.
