That's kind of the feeling I get, that the D did everything the 328i does, and even a little better, for a similar price, only it never got credit solely because it was a diesel.

The F36 435d and F10 535d I've driven extensively in Germany were rubbish compared to the E90 330i and F30 328i I've owned. Far more coarse and unrefined and no fun, especially at the top end where the petrol engines really shine through. And, yes, mpg isn't much worse in the N20 and in any case, who in their right mind cares about saving a few cents when you are forking out 50k on a car?? I'd drive a Honda civic if I were on a budget.
