I think i am a bit bored of Diesels to be honest. I had a 530d, then the 330d and while they are quick, they don't excite me anymore. No 7k revs and no noise.
As soon as I heard the 6cly start up it made my hairs stand on end.! Thats what my Scooby used to do, and even to a point the wife's old Cooper S 'vert.
I only bought the F30 330d as it was so cheap (relatively). If i was getting it next week, i would have held on, but mid-end of Decememebr.....no way.
Plus, this thing will do 38mpg....not much worse than my 330d.
case in point on the excitement thing
