I got back from a 3500 mile trip around Europe about 1 month ago. I have a 330d convertible. I love the car. It is an enigma, it has phenomenal in gear acceleration (which is when you need it), cruises so effortlessly, the wife can read the newspaper at speeds well over the legal limit when the tops down because there is almost no wind in the cabin. It also returns 40 MPG on average over 16,000 miles, most of which is on A type roads and not motorway.
The bmw3 replaces a Nissan 350Z, which was a lot of fun, but very unrefined compared to the BMW.
Diesel is different to petrol but all in all the fantastic in gear acceleration and lower fuel costs of diesel make it a winner every time for me.
It will take some adjustment and you will wonder sometimes when you hear it rattling at 10 MPH if you should have got a petrol, but get over 20MPH and you forgotten the thought already.
