I can't speak for the 320d, but I have an e70 x5d with the M57 engine (same as the e90 335d), and can 100% attest that a short intake like this just cranks up the "dieselness" of the engine. More whistle, more turbo noises, etc. I don't think there's a way to make a diesel engine sound like a petrol engine - they are just very different beasts.
