My friend is going to buy an E92 — does anyone have general info about the 177 hp version or the 184 hp version?

From what we've read on the forums, the 184hp engine that comes in the facelifted body is the more sensible option.

The most advanced version is the 184 hp one. But what matters is the car's maintenance history and whether parts were replaced at the right time. I'd say buy it after checking on the chain and oil pump replacements.

Make sure the car's oil pump chain has been replaced; it'd be better if you go for the 184 hp version. Tuning software definitely causes problems on this engine — even if the engine doesn't give trouble, the gearbox does. If it's over 200,000 km, I'd also recommend having the gearbox thoroughly checked.
