BMW 1.6 petrol engines.... Any use?

[JohnC]

Hey lads,

Just want to hear feedback on the 1.6 petrol engines in the 116i models.

Want to hear genuine first hand experience on them.

Thanks

The e92 316i I once owned was a slow pig of a thing, dangerously slow. Problems with hills. However I had a F30 316i and it was much much better, more peppy, almost turbo charged feel to it.

My advice avoid e generation 16i engines but F generation much better.

F30 316 is turbocharged isn't it ?

Seen a few reviews online for them for a few hundred euro you can have them at +200bhp and 300nm's of torque not bad for a 316

My friend is after an E90 and he is also limited to 1.6 due to insurance reasons, its his second car after a year in a 1.2 Fiesta and think he is still on learner permit.

Now I know the 1.6 wont set the world alright but are they really troublesome?
