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.
Mate, not everyone needs 300+hp car… the 320i is a fantastic dailydriver
Agreed!!! 320i Xdrive (2018) is my daily driver & I love it. It’s very nimble and plenty power for me to zip around hills & bends of Virginia
In fairness, specifically given the context of coming from a 370z, the comment does have at least some merit. Outside of that context, I’d agree with you.
I went from a Clio RS200 to a F30 320d. From a highly engaging, raw driving experience to a mile munching sofa.
As you can probably tell, I never fell in love with the F30 and two years later I got an F87. Although we do still have the F30…
I 100% agree. As an endurance racing driver. You don’t need a lot of power on the street (imo) to have fun. The F30’s can be a comfortable party.
