From outside you can hear it's a diesel, but not in an unpleasant way like some 4 cylinders. From inside, even when cold, on a light throttle you can hardly hear the engine and under accelleration gives a quite pleasant growl.
I've driven 2 other 335ds, one of them sounded the same as mine, the other a little noisier but not to the extent it would give rise for concern.

Maybe I just need to get used to the different "cabin" sound than I am used to with petrol engines.
