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.
How many miles do you do per year OP?
320i is a great car, but if you’re doing lots of miles/km per year, then a 320d would likely be the better option.
If not, then 320i all the way, but if budget can stretch, then a 330i could also be nice.
It depends what you want from the car:
If you’re happier with the power difference from your Nissan but want more options on the car, 320i.
If the step up on a lesser spec car is still enough from the Nissan, but you feel you’d miss a bit of the power, then a lower spec 330i could be the answer.
