• I’m looking at a 328i touring tomorrow. Are the 4 banger turbos any good? Know bugger all about them. I’d like the 5 series better but they haven’t sold them here since 2010. Doh.

  • The engines are super smooth but have zero torque low down and the turbo lag is a bit of a problem. This means they feel underpowered in comparison to the 30d variants of the same vehicle.

    Having said that, they have fairly decent economy and rev out okay.

    Did you not get any bigger petrol tourings out there?

  • Not since 2010 it seems! There are bugger all estate cars offered in the US. We were looking at Subaru but it seems almost everybody opts for the slug 2.5lt version, all the 3.6rs fetch silly money secondhand.
