Just so I have this right in my noggin...

The early 07 325i coupes are 2497cc versus the 08 (LCI model) 2996cc?

Giving 218bhp/250Nm (2750 - 4250) from the 2497cc engine and 218bhp/270Nm (2400 - 4200) from the 2996cc engine?

Anyone know the exact engine codes? I've a feeling the feedback here is to hold out, and try source the later 2996cc model 325i? However the premium for this in the asking price is astonishing..I don't care about emissions tax versus CC in this instance, however the dealers seem to hence the premium price
