Picked up a copy of the
Nov issue of the BMW Car magazine today and the review of the 330d is far more positive.
Comments of:
"Back road blasting is a hoot thanks to the power and torque on offer and the way it pulls away from a standing start is simply staggering"
"I constantly find myself catching and overtaking slower moving traffic and the ease in which it carries out the task is bordering on the awe-inspiring."
"You feel yourself being gently but firmly pushed back in your seats, other than that within the cabin all is calm and serene."
Only faults they found are the wrap around indicators on the mirrors - can be a bit off-putting, especially at night (I found this too in the 320d I tried). And the heads up display surround can reflect in the screen under certain circumstances. Also don't expect the claimed 55mpg and take 5-10mpg off that figure.
It sums up by saying the 330d touring "has few, if any, peers."
You'll have to buy your own copy to read the rest.
