20i or 28i

Are you looking to buy new or used? Ex-Demo? If used how old?
Do you have a budget in mind? And what extras do you want or would like it to have? i.e. What could you not do without and what would be 'nice to haves'. Leather is standard as are xenons. Heated seats for me are a must. Do you want a standard or m sport version? M sport is more expensive but it looks better and is more desirable on the 2nd hand market.

I'd recommend you test drive both, as it's very difficult to make a decision unless you've driven them both, ideally back to back. I'd still favour the 6 cylinder models, but it all depends what you want from the car. There are some good dealer discounts if you are going for new, have a look at broadspeed as an indication of what's available. There tend to be larger discounts given on the 28i so the cost differences against a 20i isn't than much and worth the extra.

I've had both, went from a 28 to a 20.
Can't say that I noticed any difference, certainly not worth the difference in price IMO. The 20 does everything I want performance wise and the money you save can go towards nice little extras like Msport and auto gearbox. I believe that Idrive is standard these days so you get that if buying new or nearly new.
The 28 does have a nice exhaust burble if that's what turns you on!
Nice to see another doc john!
