Hi All,

Mrs Ice wants to change her 2008 C class, which has been a great car.....we have mainly been a Mercedes family for the last 10-12 years and before that were BMW fans!

Mrs Ice likes the 3 series shape from 2012 on wards and I think we will go small petrol engine this time.

I had the 328i hire car, which I believe was a 2.0T in Toronto a couple of years back and it was brilliant, quick, economical and a great place to sit.

So I have started to look at the petrol engines, unfortunately 6 cylinders is, we need to tip our hat towards some-sort of economy.....so over to you....

Looking at 2012-2014 BMW 3 series with the 4 cylinder petrol engines, what are my options?

320i
328i

What are they like to own and run, are these both 2.0 T with different mapping?

Are they twin turbo? Single turbo?

Thanks in advance.

Hi All,

OP here, so what about the 320i ? Is this also a 2.0T......any view on this model, 184 hp I believe?
