Nobody can really say what the value may be in 3 years time, but as these two cars have roughly the same mileage, I'd probably opt for the 120 even though it is a couple of years older. It has more lively performance and for that reason it's perhaps the more enjoyable car to drive.

thank you one last question why is it the steering of a bmw is hard when i tried it compare to my mitsubishi??thanks

ABayliss

It just is. Some might apply the opposite; ie: why is the Mitsubishi steering so light and floaty compared with the BMW.
BMW tend to weight their steering to give a solid feel and a high degree of feedback from the road, which is the preference of enthusiastic drivers, whereas perhaps Mitsubishi aims to make light work of manoeuvring around tight inner city parking spaces.
Whatever the reason, these are the characteristics of these two brands.
