F30 320d feels a little bare in my opinion, same goes for the 320i. Because with the amount you are paying, I would really expect things like SatNav to be standard, DVD player, etc..etc.. But of course different people have different opinions. The 320d is a fun car to drive, lots of torque and lots of fun. Just that the engine runs out of breath at higher speeds especially at around 200km/h.
No brake regeneration with the 3-series we are currently getting for the 320d and 320i.
Its actually the same 2.0 turbo charged engine, with twin scroll and not twin charge (twin charge refers to supercharger and a turbo charger). Although they may have the same engine block, the internals may be different hence the research is needed.
sorry, quote from paultan

Yesterday, we found a listing of the BMW 320i on our sister site oto.my, where the car was going for RM238,800. Turns out to be accurate, for BMW Malaysia has now officially announced the entry-level petrol 3-Series. Available in both Luxury and Sport lines, the 320i goes for RM238,800 on the road, without insurance, with BMW Service + Repair Inclusive (BS+RI).
The 320i is powered by BMW’s TwinPower Turbo 2.0 litre four-cylinder petrol engine, which has a twin-scroll turbocharger, Valvetronic, Double Vanos and High Precision Injection. Mated to the firm’s eight-speed automatic transmission, the 184 hp/270 Nm 320i does the 0-100km/h dash time in a fairly fast 7.6 seconds.
The whole BMW EfficientDynamics pack is included, so you’ll get Brake Energy Regeneration, Auto Start/Stop and Eco Pro mode in the driving experience control selection. Average fuel consumption is rated at 6.0 litres per 100 km, while CO2 emissions stand at 141 g/km.
Thanks for the infomation but just need futher clarification. so only 320i with brake regeneration

Oops my bad, didn't even feel the brake regeneration being utilized during the test drive. Just hated the auto stop function.
