Message: <blockquote data-quote="fabianyee" data-source="post: 496745" data-attributes="member: 6">the 4 cylinder M40 318i is pretty PPAG (pump petrol and go) and lower maintenance with 2 less cylinder... but it lacks the silky smooth power delivery of the 6 cylinder M20... However, in Malaysia most of the facelifted(89-91) E30 are 318i and very rare u come across facelifted 320i and 325i as those would be imported or converted from 318i... prefacelift (84-88) E30 has inherent issue with rust. Facelifted E30 has galvanised body panels with better rust resistance, but don't be deceived cos better rust resistance does not mean rust proof. It'll still rust, just that it wouldn't spread so easily. Especially at hidden places where grime, mud, dried leaves accumulated..</blockquote>
