Welcome along.

You be supprised to find out (maybe not) the 318 and the 320 are both 2l engines.

2005-2007 318d's 120 bhp

2007 onwards 318d's 141 bhp

2005-2007 320d's 161bhp

2007-2010 320d's 175 bhp

Im not sure if they are actually the same engine, maybe the 318 detuned?

But my advice is go for the 320d..

Tax is the same as a 1.6 petrol and your going to get the near performance of a 323 petrol!!

My 2003 320d @ 150bhp, is only, I think 0.8 seconds slower to 60 than a 323 (2.5 litre)

And still returns over 55mpg?

I think you may be a little dissapointed with the 318, for pretty much the same price mate go for the 320d

      735i - heater element water thermostat - please help

      Hello all Does anyone know which is the cable that is connected to the thermostat heater element, the plug that is on the side of the thermostat housing. I was working in the car and removed the plug from the housing a few months ago and now I do not remember which of the two plugs, there are two identical plugs on flying leads close to each other, is the one that I should connect to the heater element. Many thanks

      1999 E46 328ci Alpine white

      1999 E46 328ci in Alpine white Current owner since 2006 with 1 previous owner 147k mikes Automatic Service history to 100k 4 keys All booklets A4 folder with al receipts from new Full size alloy in boot CD auto changer Bad bits - needs 2 wings and a bonnet due to corrosion. Corrosion spots around the car as can be seen in the pictures. Glass on passenger mirror fell of but not broken. Air con not holding gas Bleed nipple snapped passenger side rear caliper but not leaking. Original suspension could do with being replaced. Misfiring due to being of the road 4 years! Might be bad fuel or MAF sensor as was fine before. Airbag light on but BMW did a recall so not been in to replace. Owned this car almost 20years and took it of the road 4 years ago as it was needing work every year and I needed a newer family car. I had intensions to restore but have not had the time or money over the years. Not sure if the car is worth much these days but don't want it going to scrap so open to offers. Location NE England Any questions ask away

      RHD right hand headlight

      I would still try the Dismantlers if I recall there was a Register of BMW Dismantlers/Recyclers in the UK it certainly can't hurt. Maybe a complete lamp is the only option Dave

      RHD right hand headlight

      Hi Dave, thanks for that. So it appears that BMW stopped production of the lens in 2023. I can find a 2nd hand lamp, but there's a huge cost difference between the lamp and just the glass. Our local BMW dealer has done a worldwide search, and there are no lenses (of the correct part number), in any dealership. And no wrecker is going to sell just the lens. Dilemma.
