If you genuine have drive the 320d or have spend extended time in a d, you know the relevant rev range is between 1750 and 3000rpm 80% of the time..and thats where the d has 10% more Nm than yours. Its not whose better or higher. or whatever, its each of the nature of the different beast.
+ do you drive Manual or a paddle flap?

Well, yes, for the 20d power is still increasing when peak torque drops off. For the 28i when peak torque drops off power is not on a downhill, it's on a plateau of max power from 5000rpm to 6500rpm. For the 28i is faster than the 20d, in-gear thru-the-gears etc., is an undeniable fact.
I have driven 3 different cars with N47 in various tunes & each time I spent around 2 weeks & over 2500kms in each of them, so I'm not a stranger to the 4-pot BMW diesel. Needless to say the current BMW petrol turbos does everything the diesels can do apart from fuel economy.
I drive 8AT but that doesn't matter cos I always use EcoPro & the gearbox doesn't kickdown easily, plus it changes gear mostly at around 1500rpm.
