Very nice

 

[Redline]

Very nice.
Which model is it?
The 20i isn't massively quick but a nice car. Would love to drive a 28i to compare.
See you have the windbreak installed

It is a 2.0 which I am quite pleased about for my lad.have to say when you press the sport button it does go quite well for the engine size

It is the 2.0 model although when you press the sport button it's nippy enough for my lad without being too fast !!

The E89 has some confusing badging. There are 3 variants of the 2.0L 4 pot in various specs.
18i
20i
28i

The was a 2.5L confusingly badged as the 23i and the 2 3.0L six pot badged versions as the 30i and 35i.

BMW trying to give the impression that there many engine options.

I guess yours is the 20i. It’s very easy to read a “.” that isn’t there.
I like the 20i but your right, it isn’t massively powerful - that’s useful for a younger driver that is possibly still learning their ‘roadcraft’.

BMW have been using confusing car badge/engine sizes for quite a number of years.

they are easy to map up to silly power! The 18/20/28i all use the same basic engine and turbo, just different mapping/manifolds/injectors.

280bhp isn't unheard of from a 2.0i from the posts ive read on z4 forum
