And as evidence to that point, the 320d in UK is branded as the 328d in the US.

Cheeky sods treating The Motherland (USA, the second biggest market after Germany, The Fatherland) with such disdain. I'd go on strike and stop buying BMWs until they treat their mother with more respect.

I test drove a 320d in NZ and was impressed with the torque - which really, power is a nonsense figure unless you drive on the autobahn all the time. Torque is where it's at for daily driving and even spirited country driving.
