Yes...you could spend more money to make less power...but WHY?! If the stock engine is an iron block, the LS might actually be LIGHTER.

Too bad the newest ones are so much more complex and they try too hard to be "upscale". My 318 came with plastic wheel covers.
IMO the 318 is a uniquely reliable and simple car. My good friend has had one since forever, and has over 200k miles on it. It still drives nicely and is good looking if you like that styling.
I have heard a lot more positive comments about older 4 banger BMW's than newer more complex models...
