Andrew, you had a similar problem with you c63 didn't you? Did wim fix it for you?
As for the Diesel engines I am more talking about the 4 cylinder units. The merc is quite rough and the BMW is better but can still sound like a proper diesel at times. Our tt sounded much better and not as rough but this my opinion :-)
I am only just averaging 30mpg and 27 into work this morning :-0

More support for your opinion here. I have no experience of the Merc diesel but both the 4 pot diesel BMWs I've had have been much less refined than the VAG diesels that I have owned or had as hire cars.
We also have a dirt cheap old citroen HDi and that engine puts both the VAG and the BMW 4 pot to shame for refinement.
I'm actually amazed the Merc is rougher than the BMW as I find it particularly bag of hammers like.
