The N20 is very well documented to make those same HP /torque figures with nothing but a burger quick tune. I'll toss one on soon so I can embarrass some X3 35i cause you know x3s line up and race all the time at stop lights. We could start an X3 racing league. Fastest to Walmart and back wins.

The 28i runs high 14's in the 1/4mi and the 35i runs low 14's in the 1/4mi.

Calm down

The 35i has the turbo/intercooled N55 I6 (300hp)

We got the 2011 28i it has plenty of power for us.

When you find one you like enter the VIN on BMW site and it will bring up all the
Options when it was built.

N20's have issues? All of them? or just the ones you might've read about (which isn't a lot)

OP, I've got TWO N20's with high mileage. Both operating 100%. Nothing wrong with a well maintained N20 my friend

I can't see how people get a 2L turbo on such a heavy car

Drives like a charm. Is it comparable to my 235i inline 6? Nope. But I don't need 300+hp on my SUV.

It's not that great though. It's a budget motor and it's weak on power. The 28i and 35i is night and day.

Y'all are so dramatic. The 28i and 35i are both 14 second SUV's if you call half a second "night and day" you're just trolling. The N20 is an insanely reliable engine, ask how many have replaced their water pumps and coils compared to N55 owners.

Look at the difference in acceleration times. This is a significant difference and shows that the 35i is the one to get. Like I said earlier, the N20 really runs out of steam in the top end.

No one's arguing the differences between the two engines mate. Clearly there is. I was simply responding to the OPs question about realiabilty on the N20. No more, no less.

If you want more power, then the 35i is a better performer.
