The DIESEL.

More torque, better fuel economy, just as fast and just as much fun.

No question about it - diesel!

The power deficiency that usually exists for diesel engines doesn't even come into effect in the 120d I see!

I'd get the diesel motor, as well, but I don't expect to see one (in any BMW, really) in North America, anytime soon.

120i all the way. Nothing can match the good old petrol

ok, there are two reasons:
1. there is a law in greece, the doesn't let diesel cars drive in the two biggest cities, which is a big problem for me since i drive to Athens almost every two weekends. for that reason, carmakers don't inport diesel cars here, since noone buys them...

2. I like my car to rev as much as possible and i want that terrific sound that only petrol cars make!

Re: 1er: 3 door vs 5 door

I prefer the 5 door, very rare does a 5 door hatch look so sleek with such a low stance, for example compare it with the A3, or more obviously the Golf..

I would choose 120i because while 120d probably has more performance, i just can't stand the sound of it!
