A welterweight might be close to a light heavyweight on a 'how hard do they hit' scale, but in the ring it's not an even contest.
I'd be more interested in how the 330d powerplant stacks up against offerings from Audi and Mercedes?

My alternative to the 330D was the E350CDi Coupe. Got to say the Merc engine is a belter, I would rate it equally as good as the 30D if not better. (Sorry!)
But the gearbox 7G Tronic Plus is very auto slushbox.....such a shame.
Another niggle was the reliability of the engine.....I know a Merc indy and he has seen some horror stories regarding the V6 diesel.
