BMW F20 LCI 118i purchase
Hi. I am cosidering buying a 118i 2016-2018 in the next few months. It will be with the B38 engine 1.5 liter. I read about some problems on the early MINI models with the B38 main bearings. Did they fix the problem until 2016 or there were also issues on the 1 series?
And my second question; currently I have an E92 LCI 320d. What do you say, will the F20 feel like an upgrade over the e92? (not taking in cosideration the power of the engine). |

Hi. The only B38 engine issue I recall reported here is this one: https://f20.1addicts.com/forums/show...6&postcount=42.
Reportedly, F20 is an upgrade over the previous generation regarding interior quality (and space ). Not so regarding handling: "electric" steering (consider avoiding Servotronic for reliability reasons: not a total disaster, but nasty issues were reported), soft basic suspension (M-Sport suspension feels like the previous basic, they say). |
Appreciate
