Is a 2 litre 3 series any good?

I don't like the 4 cyl bimmers myself but they're definitely better than a škoda

whats wrong with a 4 banger beamer

Literally nothing. It's just underwhelming from a car enthusiast perspective or for anyone that gives a shit about the actual power production of their car. A lot of the new entry level BMWs are all running turbo 4s and make shit power but have retained every other aspect of BMW which is the only reason people buy these fucking things (brand name, luxury, safety, etc...)
My friend has a 320i with a 4 banger and it's boring as shit. But it's a new BMW and it's comfy and nice otherwise.

>not part of the glorious bmw straight six heritage
>econobox engine literally just meant for saving gas
Basically I'm bitching about it as a bimmer enthusiast, I'd still much rather drive one of those than a fucking skoda or a toyota

Not a BMW man myself but that's one of the best cars you can get in that class.

they break fast as fuck
I have 2 friends who work as mechanics for bmw dealers and they say that the new engines start to break around 120k km and my brother had one from the e92 model wich startet to have motor problems at 98 k
the main problems are the timing chain, oil pump and fuel injectors

except that 8l engine will be more reliable and last longer because it's under-stressed.
