e90 320i or 320d

[Quakes]

good day guys

I'm planing on buying a 2006 model e90 bmw 320 but was wondering what the price difference is on parts and services between the 320i and 320d?

I was thinking about the diesel, but heard that parts for diesel is more expencive than the petrol.

can someone please help?

Thanks

All things considered, if you don't live at the coast then get the 320d. It's a no brainer.

320d, trade off, fuel vs parts / service.

thanks for the reply

I dont live at the the coast.
I like the diesel, but dont want to hurt my wallet if something break or if I need to replace something. people tell me that diesel parts are very expencive.

If the diesel has been well maintained then you shouldnt have all that much to be concerned about :thumbs:

true, but i'm buying a used car, never know how the other owner drove the car, thats what i'm worring about

True, very true! Was in the same situation with my current Golf which is a diesel, but we've since put 100 000km on her without a hitch so I guess it is down to a bit of luck

yea well, hope I have luck. guess I will go for the diesel.

thanks for the help.

btw! sexy golf!!!

if you do proper research (much longer) you will see that diesel can actualy be very close or even the same as the petrol engine....with that aside, the 320d is best for our economic times...fule, power etc

i have had the 320i in the most sexiest spec ever, and now i have the 320d exclusive and they are worlds apart, the 320d will help your pocket in fact but bearing in ind that you look after it properly.

a B<W out of plan will never be cheap but i can be kept to a minimum or low costs provided you invest in it in the beginning or at the once off part replacement and services.:thumbs:
