E46 6 or 4 cyl?

Recommended Posts

The missus is wanting to replace her trusty Compact.

The question is, get an E46 320 or 318 - 6 or 4 cylinder car? I've suggested E39 but she doesn't want a 5 series.

Taking into account servicing cost etc.

It'll be for around town and long distance duty if can't fit people and/or luggage in the Porker.

Or an A4? S40? Passat? C-class looks horrible.

318 has the N42 which has almost just as much power as the 2.2M52TU 320, the six is smoother but will consum more fuel and probably feel under powered although they aren't actually that bad.

The N42 has it's fair share of problems too. If it's an older 318 then it'll have the M43TU which are ok but feel hugely unpowered also.

Go 325 compact, they are rockets.

I'd like to have a 4-door since the Porker is already a two-door.

The missus doesn't need a rocket. Don't really want to see any speed camera letter.
