Depends if you need to balance economy with enjoyment. Personally petrol/naturally aspirated is my ideal.. Generally smoother, free revving, better sounding. I have only been able to take out the 335i a couple times so far but im happy with it. Unless you are doing serious mileage, with petrol/diesel prices today (i.e. comparable) the economic argument is less significant than it used to be. So for me, the pleasure i get from the 335i was greater than the value i put on the economic benefit when i am doing 5-10k miles a year. With that said, if this is a do everything car for you and you will be commuting/racking upthe miles, you may prefer the diesel.. Im sure the bmw diesels, even if they dont match the petrol for character, are still among the best out there, and betterthan they used to be. Plus im sure down the road a used diesel is easier to move than a petrol in the UK specifically.
