F31 - (newer shape) yes, buy it E91 - more likely - (old shape) Poor value and a poor engine choice - get a 325i 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is the older E91 shape - this generation 4 cyl 320i motors are not known for their reliability. 325i is same price, more reliable and more powerful.

Globe 0 Report post Posted August 7, 2021 I think it’s the older model. Looking at the read the lights seem more ‘square’ whereas from what I can gather on the F the lights look wider and less deep Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E91 is a great shape though, but I would go for a 325i all day. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/325i/listing/3039622482?bof=o9g6gfaT Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
