I have an e92 320d at the moment & whilst performance is brisk, I sometimes wish there was more. The fuel econony of the 30d looks impressive on paper but I'm just a bit concerned about mpg with real world driving. The claimed mpg for my 20d is supposed to be around 68mpg on a run however I can only manage 55/56.
If I thought I could get 50+ in the 30d then it would be an easy decision. There's also the temptation of having more performance as opposed to choosing another 3 with the same engine as what I currently have. I just don't want to opt for one & then find out I can only manage early 40's.

I run a X3 3.0D with ths same engine and auto box. I can get 50mpg if I take it real easy but after a couple of long A road runs I got 45.4mpg @ 60.8 mph over 300+ miles and 49.2 mpg @ 49.2 mph on a 60 mile run.
You should get an easy 50+ from a 3 series, you know you want the smooth 6, go for it
