BMW E90 320i?
Hello dear portal, I'm looking to buy a car soon. I currently drive a 2006 Seat Ibiza. It's a 1.4L petrol engine with 170,000 km on the clock.
I want to buy a BMW 3 Series, the e90. I drive 80 km a day. I was actually going to buy a 320d, but because of the diesel problems that might arise in the next few years, I'm going for a gasoline engine again. I was thinking about buying a 318i or 320i. What do you think? Is the e90 suitable for long distances? Which model year do you recommend? The Seat has had almost no major repairs in the last three years. Would the e90 be the same? My budget is €11,000.
Thanks in advance for the help

Well sporting isn’t that straight, especially the 4 cylinders of BMW are neither particularly spattery nor low-consumer, on the contrary, they are even quite thirsty! They are also very expensive in insurance. For long distances it is more suitable than your Ibiza, as it is much more comfortable due to the longer wheelbase. That’s it. He’s a lot heavier than your Seat…
If it should be more sporty, take either 6 cylinders 325i or better at 330i or look at the Japanese!
Is the Reale Sprit consumption value very high compared to the 320 and the 325? With the İbiza I create 600 km with a tank capacity of 40-45 liters. Since I am 23 years old, the insurance would also be higher.
So a 2 liters 4 cylinder gasoline leaves 10 liters in the mix! My 99 STI with the same lift space but 280hp and permanent all-wheel drive only needs 1-2 liters more in the mix 😅👍
For the budget you should get a well maintained car…
Drive both sample then you notice the differences….
Why should the e90 not be suitable for long distances?
Whether you have as much gluck with another used car as with your present, don’t have to predict.
For 11,000€ you should be able to find a decent car. In general, they are late years of construction a series of more mature.
Since I’ve read on forums that you don’t want to turn off the engine directly after a long drive, that’s why. I don’t know about cars.
After a long motorway ride, you shouldn’t drive away and turn off the engine immediately, otherwise you scrape the turbo (rep. cost of over 1000 euros).
A turbo runs up to more than 200,000 rpm and can reach temperatures of 900°C, which means how long it takes to stand still and cool down. Just leave for 2-3 minutes and everything is in the butter. The same applies to the cold start, leave it a few seconds time to reasonable oil pressure and a bit of temp
Rule No. 1: BMW is only bought with 6-cylinder engine.
Why, I hope everyone will be clear by now….
What would that be at the 3rd? 325?330? Because too much PS would be too much consumption 😅 thank you
If you want little consumption, look for a lighter car!
323i and 325i 2005-08/2007 have “only” 2.5 litres capacity
328i 330i 335i have 3 liters capacity and 325i from 2007 also
