no, keep the calibra, beemer 1.6s are too slow as they are a big car, its just like havin a 1.6 in your calibra, think of that, err

316 & 318s are too underpowered, the 1.9 engine found in 318is coupe's has a decent balance of performance + reasonable ish running costs.

if comfort is a higher prority than speed then a 316 / 318 would do the job. not much difference between the two, both slow and cost around the same to run and insure.
