Must confess, I didn't chose my 330d on fuel economy. On recco of my sales guy, I tried 328i and 330d back to back. It' down to taste, but the 328i didn't have the grunt I'm used to. Like others have said here, you can get it to move, but you need to rev it pretty hard and it sounds, and feels, like it's trying hard.
Got into the 330d and laughed as soon as I gave it some gas. So much effortless grunt, so smooth and a pretty nice engine sound with it.
For me the extra MPG is a happy bonus, but I'd have had the 328i in a flash if it had floated my boat more. I agree - hard to justify cost difference between the two cars on basis of MPG. Has to be down to which you prefer.
Wish you could get the light-footed nippiness of the 328i in the 330d though 0 can't quite have your cake & eat it ... :-)
