Hi all,

I do plan to buy a new bmw x1. my question is: what engine to choose between the well known 2.3d and the new 2.0i 180hp?

Pros for 2.3d 204 hp:
- more torque
- mature engine but still old technology (including the 6-automatic gearbox)
- faster 0-100 (7.3s vs 7.9s on 2.0i)
- better fuel consumption

Pros for 2.0i 180hp
- new 8-automatic gearbox
- new engine technology but not mature/tested/confirmed
- good torque at low rpm (270 nm starting 1250, but still far from the 400 nm developed by 2.3d)
- less noisy.

I've tried to find information/opinions from 2.0i owners. Unfortunately all comments refer to 2.8i engine. Any 2.0i 180hp owner that can share his experience with X1?

Comments and suggestions are much appreciated
