Going through my car's paperwork today I noticed the logbook states the power output at 135kw which translates to 181bhp-meaning my zed is a 20i & not the runt of the litter 18i version.
Further checking revealed the advert for the car clearly describing it as an 18i :roll:
Think I'd be seriously miffed the other way round, but this is ok :P

You didn't find a couple of cylinders while rummaging through your paperwork did you Rob? :poke:

Surprised you've never done a bmw vin decode on it Rob

This is what it says on there too. Indeed a 20i

That's where it gets confusing because all the 2litre turbo cars are 2.0.
They then have a further designation if 18i, 20i or 28i. I just thought the vin decider was calling it a 2litre!

I looked hard but couldn't find any, as long as I've got a pot to piss in I'm happy though :poke:

Yeah the type bit says 20i though

If you find a 18i and put in the decoder, the type bit says 18i :)
 
So the moral of the story is take the badges off your car and pass it off as a better model when you sell it to a dealer, they don't have a clue. :)

Yep, my car had model designation delete & it fooled the dealer :lol:
I feel like I've got a better value car now, dead happy :thumbsup:

When you insured it did you say 18i?

Good news either way!

I put the reg in the search engine & it gave me the model, because of the weird way the 2.0 turbo cars are named its confusing to say the least :?
