The turmoil of it.... I ordered 335d over 335i mostly because of the wait for 335i. Sure I could've got a spec changeable one but watch out for those - if they aren't at the same dealer you are buying from you won't get such a good deal as far as I can tell... the spec-changeable deal I was offered on a 335i was 5k more than the deal I ended up with on spec-changeable 335d (the order was by the dealer I bought from, whereas the +5k one would have had to do a deal with another dealer).

I too was a bit worried about the sound on startup, but I'll get over it.

I noticed the performance was effortless with the diesel without making a noise, part of the plan with this car was to get a 'family' car (first 4 door car I've had) so it being effortless is kind of an attraction. It also might mean I need a speed camera detector!
