Hi my first post on here so please be gentle
I am considering changing from my BMW 118d SE dynamic pic for those interested below to a FL IS 22od SE i.
We need the extra space as currrently I pretty much just drive the 1er to work and my other half drives the Caddillac BLS diesel on the school run and at weekends as more space for baby stuff baby and a 5 year old and any shopping. Found the 1er tight on space when we drove to France in the summer good on economy 56mpg average.
Anyway back on topic few 220d questions......
Has the engine been updated as I see it has 3rd Gen 1800 Piezo injectors and an extra 2Bhp to 177?
Have the gearbox ratios been improved as heard 6th was too long and the engine struggled slightly at 70mph?
What is the handling like, looked at one a couple of years back but never drove it and has the handling improved on the FL version and in what way?
What are the interior revisions?
Finally relaibility and mpg?
Questions questions.........
Thanks in advance
