    Thank you for the content. Been watching and enjoy the povs. Was looking at cupra 290s but this car seems like a nice in between my current car and the Seat in terms of cost/performance. Plus the mpg will be nice.

      2-3 seconds faster with a nice look with the exuast being one on each side, but the mpg is alot lower than you would get from a diesel. Sound of the engin is alot better (almost like an m2) Would recommend it if you dont mind the mpg, otherwise it’s the same car

    What would you suggest between the 220i and the 220d in this generation what are the main differences when driving the petrol and diesel?

    • @ParagonCarsLondon
      @ParagonCarsLondon  Рік тому +8

      good question. I'd pick the 220D over the 220i as the diesel is much punchier and faster in most cases. Also, because the diesel has a lot more torque you're able to have quite a bit more fun with the chassis. If you want to go for petrol i'd atleast go for the 230i, ideally the 240i is the one you want though, as the b58 is in another league compared to the 2.0l b48.

    A BMW420D weighs 1550- 1575kg and a 220D weighs 1435 (add 35kg for xDrive and 25kg for automatic.). Where is the 25% weight difference you talked about at 0:05

    • @ParagonCarsLondon
      @ParagonCarsLondon  Рік тому +6

      It's a bit of an exaggeration. Most 420d's weigh around 1650kg and most 220d's are around 1375kg so it's more like 17%. We have seen some 4 series weighing well over 1700kg though, just depends on spec.

    • @Exemplifiera

      @Paragon Cars London sounds like the 2 series should be quite alot more economical to run. How is the sound insulation between the two? I assume you've driven both. Is one more quiet or noisy than the other?
