But in short:
-320i is much more quiet at low speeds
-320i is about 1 second faster at overtaking when using kickdown from 80-120 km/h
-320d accelerates faster in high gears due to higher torque
-10% higher fuel consumption on highway driving for the 320i
I have decided to go for the 320i in imperial blue with saddle brown interior  |
How is your 320i? I guess you got it by now?
I've ordered a F31 320i sport with m-tech, mainly because I don't like the smell of diesel, and I like higer revs.
I've tested both 320D F31 and 320i F30, but I felt that going for 320i was best suited for me, since I don't care that much about fuel usage. Coming from a 520 E39 2003 touring with automatic, everything else will use less fuel
The 320D was good, and I did kind of feel that it had more punch on lower revs. But I think it's abit boring with engines stopping to rev where others keep going about 2000-2500rpm more.
