The only thing that disappoints me is that they are referring to the engine as "28i" when it is only 2.0L displacement. I would love to see a 320i and 120i on the dealer lot. I suppose the same can be said about the N54/55 being the 35i though. __________________ ~Dave~ 98 328ti Morea Grun slicktop 11 128i space gray slicktop 13 JGC WK2 Deep Cherry Search | RealOEM | | | 01-22-2011, 02:39 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Thanks for the link.

The 1 Series diesel is very popular here. | | | 10-08-2012, 01:37 PM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Oct 2012 Location: Faisalabad Posts: 5 | nice post ...... nice sharing keep it up __________________ "DaviD" | | | 10-09-2012, 06:13 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Portland Or Posts: 2,666 | But they are giving us the POS hybrid instead of the diesel in the US from what the trade rags say...

They lent us a new 2.3d X1 auto from the showroom. Having grown accustomed to the precision of our 1-er Coupe with its 6-sp gearbox, awesome torque and fantastic economy, the X1 left us unimpressed. Despite having the same motor the X1 felt like a slug, steered and handled like a truck, ate 40% more fuel on the highway, and had a pretty useless turning circle. Our 318ti is a more enjoyable drive despite being more than a decade older, but I guess that depends on what one expects out of a car. Unless you like the urban tractor (and if you love the 318ti, I can't see why you would), don't stress about its late arrival, it really isn't that exciting once you're behind the wheel.
