Ts, go for the b48 f30 but your budget was 80k. hmm seem like f30 2014-2015 max with N20 u can get at this price budget. If can top up get the b48 engine. Or you may get the w204 merc from other forumer suggested. cheers. All the best

N20 engine very short lived and there is a clear reason why it was only used for HALF generation in the F30. The engine has some design flaws that BMW release the newer B48 just after N20 was introduced in a short few years. N20 engine is probably one of the shortest lived engine in BMW.

So far havent heard of any complain on B48, and it is being installed in lower performance Toyota Supra.
B48 + ZF 8speed should be a reliable combo.

Absolutely agree. Likes the ZF-torque converter 8 speed and 4 pot turbo. A quick mudah check found that not much b48 f30 around already but lots of n20 320i. biggrin.gif biggrin.gif
