I don't mind average speed cams where it's, for example, temporarily protecting the workforce through some roadworks but we're talking about a permanent installation along 130 miles of road here, and some of that is single carriageway. On these stretches, trucks are limited to 40mph which makes overtaking likely.. but only as long as it doesn't psh you over your average between two sets of cameras. I know the A9 is pretty bad for accidents but there must surely be a better way of reducing these.

Anyway, we've gotten a bit off-topic here - bottom line, OP should try the 320d as per his original selection and if he likes it, great, if not there are other decent engine options available
