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

    Lmao the comments. Half these people don’t even own a 340.

    You will be fine with a 320i, no it’s not the fastest but it drives great and won’t be super high on petrol. Spec it nicely with all the optional stuff and enjoy the car.

      I love the 340i but it is clearly out of OPs budget. For the majority of people a 330i ticks every box, the 320i too if you don’t mind lesser performance

      I’ve got a 328i. I know the N20 gets bashed on (for the right reasons). Get a 2016+ turbo 4 and you’ll get good gas mileage and a fun ride. I race in spec Miata so I’m used to the lower power and a fun chassis combo. Mine is perfect for a daily.

      Every fucking post goes like this:

      -> OP is thinking about a 318d or 320i

      Then 18 yo kids who don’t even have a licence try to convince them to buy an M5C or whatever
