Hi,


Need your help on this, choosing between the 2, E46 316i manual transmission or 1999 E46 318i automatic transmission?


Who has the better engine of the two, in terms of reliability, parts availability and most importantly fuel economy?


The 316i has the N40 engine 1.6liter and the 318i has the M43 engine 1.8liter.

Is the N40 less reliable than the M43?
