E90 330d vs F30 320d - Thoughts on WTB??

[momo1]

2010+ E90 330d MSport A/T............... VS ............2012+ F30 320d Msport A/T

Considering these 2 arent that far apart in price , I ‘d like to hear your guys opinions on which you would choose and why.
Also the guys lucky enough to have own both , what are your take on them?

Sure the 330d would be more fun to drive with all that power, but I am still not entirely convinced on the E90 styling, don’t get me wrong, I think I’d be happy if I bought one, but everytime I see a F30 Msport I would be a little regretful. Also that 8 speed auto on the F30 is quite a gem, but then again the E90 330d would be at least 30k-60k cheaper (spec depending)

The F30, by miles. Chip it if you need more power. The advances in F30 over E90 in refinement, ride quality and interior fit and finish are tremendous.

Including rattles and squeeks and inferior quality materials.

E90 for me. More power. Better brakes.

Build quality on the F30 has gone backwards. +1 on the E90 330d over F30 320d.

Depends on how important Motorplan (remainder of it) is to you too.
Personally I'd stay away from a 2012 (first production year) F30, from what I've read on other forums.

Theres no replacement for displacement! :rollsmile:

The 6Speed ZF in these are also really quite awesome boxes imo

The only reason I'd go for an f30 330d (not 320d) is for the 8speed gearbox.
