Sure the 330d would be faster but with the price of diesel here in Europe increasing and the frequency of speed cameras also increasing my money is to stick with the 320d.
Graeme, what rpm/speed were you accelerating at in 4th? Did you feel the push in the back? Before my E91, I drove an Alfa 147 1.9JTD with 115ps and 285Nm of torque and it felt a lot faster at low to intermediate revs in 3rd and 4th.
