All of these are reasons why I have gone back to petrol in the shape of a 320i. No tractor noise, power throughout the rev range and still it should return decent economy, and with petrol being cheaper than diesel then I reckon running costs won't be too far off for me over 12000 miles a year. And that's neglecting the initial purchase price.

It is true that the 320i is a cheaper car to buy in the first place.
As for the rest...
