Which model of E90 BMW 3 series would you recommend?

Which model of E90 BMW 3 series would you recommend 330i or 330d, and which gearbox should I opt for? Should I go for facelift model LCI? Thanks a lot

For speed and economy the 330d manual. Yes, go for facelift. And if you don't need 4 doors a lot, consider the much better looking E92 coupe.
