PS... Samchuang, and Swift135, thanks for sharing your experiences with the 330d, I am holding off test driving it until I am close to purchasing, because I know I will not like my 325i so much afterwards
I am glad to hear the the turbo lag isn't as pronounced, that was my one and only worry about it all.
As 2/3 of my kms is on country roads, the fuel economy is attractive too...
