2015 N20 vs. 2016 B48
Hi Everyone,
Can I please have some advice picking between a 2015 n20 220i and a 2016 b48 220i? The 2015 has 63,000kms and $24,000AUD. The 2016 has 55,000kms and $26,000AUD. Both M sports packages and fully stock. Is it worth the extra $2000 for the B48? 24k is already pushing my budget I plan to go the BM3 route for safe power gains - I want this car to last atleast another 5 years driving 15,000kms yearly. Thanks! Last edited by okayhenry; 12-08-2023 at 05:37 AM.. |

B48 will definitely be your best choice considering your preferences. I believe the n20 from 2015 will still suffer from timing chain guide issues.

The B48 will be more reliable as an engine if that matters to you. It would be $2k well spent.
