Since you're living in Germany, you can test the 330d. I would bet on it that you'll be surprised to discover all prejudices are unfounded.

The d sounds a bit muted but certainly not unpleasant, the revving experience is not leading to a frustrating or invasive cut off and the power delivery is easily eclipsing the one of the 335i in the midrange.

The bonusses you'll get are clearly reduced running costs and the comfort of mind that you inject much less COČ in our atmosphere and higher trade in later.
