hi , i want to buy a bmw used car (E46) and i dont know which model i will choose! i am interest in :
1) 320 Ci year 2000 ( M52 6 cylinder 150 HP)
2) 318 Ci year 2001 ( N42 4 cylinder 143 HP)
both 2000cc
their price is very close. I would like an advice and your opinion about those 2 models , which is better , max speed , better engine and more.

personally go with the 320. the little extra power goes a long way ( i believe there is more torque than the 318.)

what is the mileage on both ?

I think you should go for the 320 as it is a 6 cylinder engine. BMW 6 cylinder engines make the most beautiful noise.... With the sound it will feel lots more powerful....

look the best 318ci I can find is 27000 km and 320ci 40000 km.

the four-cylinder trades less power (7 bhp) for more torque (8 lb-ft), is more economical, and 80 kg lighter.
