E91 320i

So, took a wee E91 320i (2007) out for a run tonight..........

I have to say, I was REALLY disappointed

I mean, in my honest opinion, in terms of power.....it doesnt even compare to the 320d.....AT ALL.

Not to mention the fact that in a 2 miles drive, 60 odd mph and driving quite cautiously....I stuggled to get 30mpg.

Is that about right?

Is this really the weak link in the range?

The 320d seemed leagues ahead.

Yeah the 320i is an unreliable slow underporming shit box.

4cyl NA engine is a big no no. 325i onwards only in E9x guise... IMHO...

Agreed......really disappointing as it was a 2007 Msport with low miles for excellent money.

Ah well...the search continues.

There's a reason it was cheap

Exactly, see......i could live with pish performance if it returned economy.

It did neither

I mean, my loony shit box Clio returns 35mpg all day long when driven in a "normal" manner.

I tried the same manner in this and was seeing 24mpg. WTHJF?
