Really didn't like the noise or the depressing knowledge i'd gone for perceived economy over an engine to ENJOY!
Ignore the comparisons on times, those figures are based on 4 th gear performance - and obviously the torque performance of the d distorts the on paper numbers - the real proof, especially with the DCT box, is the sight of a 330d disappearing in the rear view mirror after exhaustion sets in at 5,000 revs....  |
I totally agree with this position, after trying a 330d I'm going for a 335i manual.
