I was very lucky to have some excellent help from Chrisbin, then my dealer did all the rest. My only direct contact with BMW was an email where I compared it to a 1979 Ford Cortina!!
Mine was 21 months old [15,000 mls] by the time it was replaced, how old is yours?
Good luck, go for a 320D, its far far better.

Mine is 19 months old with 14000 miles , quite similar to yours
Unfortunately I do not have a video, I wish I had taken one when it went into limp mode with nearly all the warning lights on the dashboard illuminated and only being able to crawl into a side road !
It sounds like the 320D is definately the one to go for.
