I assume you mean I6? I think most people would prefer the smaller displacement I4 for efficiency reasons. There are a few of us that would prefer something like a 123d 5 door for a daily driver with great mileage and reasonable performance, even though a 130d would provide more power, it doesn't really offer any practical advantages that a petrol motor doesn't do a better job of solving, at least for us in the US with cheap petrol.
