Hi here ! I’m looking for F31 to travel (3+dog) and sometime go to work, less than 10k km per year. Automatic only.

I think a 318da is enough, but would a 320d bring a big plus?

Is there a lot of change with the LCI version?

Is the xdrive necessary when it freezes or snows? I have a very careful drive and my traction car has never caused me a problem on snow (2 week/year).

I come from Peugeot 206 70hp, and currently a Ford ecosport 130hp for family travel…

I hope to have good advice here, despite the low motorization compared to yours!

    I would say go for 320d if you can. Basically the same engine and fuel economy is identical to 318d (in some real world tests I’ve actually seen 320d with slightly better economy as it doesn’t need to be driven as hard).

    I had a 420d for a year and power was “adequate” for the type of car - if could only afford a 18d engine I’d honestly rather just get a nicer spec non premium car than a slow BMW.

    Post LCI has the much improved so in any case go for the B47 some others have said
