Get a 2.2 or 2.5 to avoid issues with the 2.0 if your budget is low.

Hi
I just recently had the same dilemma with what one to buy and the members on here did seem to point towards the 2.2 over the 2.0 for reliability and engine sound and I have to say I drove both and in the end bought the 2.2 it has a much nicer sound imo and feels like more of a car than the 2.0 again imo, best of luck with your search had mine for just under a month and I love it can't see it going anywhere anytime soon.
Matt.

Welcome to the forum Douglas. :thumbsup:

FWIW my local BMW independent (ex-Sytner) recommends avoiding 4 cylinder BMW's, so I'd go for a 2.2 in your situation. Plus the 6 cylinder ones just sound so much better anyway!

Hope you find one soon - then we need photos!
Coupes because stunning!

The difference in mpg and insurance is negligible between models- the 2.0 can have issues, especially in facelift (post 06) cars. The 2.2 is a great car, but quite rare so don't rule out a 2.5 to widen your search.

Or even the three litre. Insurance could be less for a bigger engine even. Other cost differences also negligible.

Douglas, are you still looking for a 2.0? We're thinking of selling ours, a 2.0 2008 in silver which we've had from new. If you're interested I can post the details.
