How do you find the auto box with the 4 pot engine? I've too been contemplating a e90 but not sure which engine to get.
It works very well actually, it's an excellent autobox though, very smooth, 6 gears and it shifts quite quickly. Of course if you can find the right 6 pot in budget, go for it, if not though, the 2 litre petrol is a surprisingly decent engine, I don't feel short changed or let down by it. It isn't as good as a l6 though obviously, it is a good deal cheaper to acquire though. It's very quiet too which I like, but the noise it does make is actually not typical 4 pot unpleasant, it's actually not bad, it's got a bit of a growl to it, what it doesn't do that the l6's do though is rise to a sonorous crescendo of automotive music when really pushed, it merely sounds ...decent. You can hardly hear the engine at all when driving normally though.
