Hi. I am thinking of buying the new BMW 3-series coupe.Tthe 320 hopefully but I am not sure which to go for, the diesel or the petrol. Any advice people? 320i SE or 320d SE.
Answers
Not easily answered this one as everyone is different in what you expect from a car and its performance etc. The petrol version is probably cheaper to buy and service and will be quieter to drive but not as economical. If you enjoy really gunning your car and revving it highly then the petrol one will be your natural choice. The diesel one however is more suited to someone who wants to drive more lazily but instant oomph in any gear when called upon. This will feel quicker than the petrol and give you far superior mpg in the process. The BMW diesels are also very refined so you do not get as much clatter as most deisels. You need to weigh up that the mileage you do outweighs the price difference. Personally I would plump for the diesel version as it will be easier to sell on with todays current oil prices and will feel quicker 90% of the time if that is important to you - Paul Harrison from Bedfordshire
