The kid in me thought about the 335i but I remembered my previous experience of powerful petrols. To get full whack you really need to work it hard and that really hammers MPG. On the other hand with a modern diesel, the power is just there.
Will check out alloy gators.

I had an Eos with the 2.0 Golf GTI engine which was good and then I hd a 170BHP A3 diesel which was a fantastic engine. I wanted xDrive and so if wanted to go for the 3 series was faced with waiting to see what other models came out in xDrive or go for a great deal on the 320i. The deal I got was (I think) far better than I would have got on a 320d xDrive had I waited - i believe i got a deal which offset the difference in running costs between the two. But the 330d has me keen...
