When you can't find a "con" other than it doesn't have "the greatest soundtrack" (the E90 328i didn't sound amazing neither did the 335i, this isn't a 335i), I'll take it as a win. Well done BMW. Though, the front is starting too look very pointy.

Thanks for posting; 0-62mph in 5.9 is impressive.

Q4P · 12-19-2011, 09:57 AM

Looks like this is a win for BMW!

M-Power111 · 12-19-2011, 10:04 AM

very nice, another great review.

If it comes to the states, the 320D will be the wife's new car. If not, the 328i M-Sport will work.

The only thing I miss about this car are 2 more pots under the bonnet in a NA engine...

The rest is not always exactly what I wanted but I can put up with it somehow.

320d would about 52 mpg US, with x-drive prob 49. Put it together for a package starting at 40K- I think they may have a market.

If its between a 4-cyl turbo or 4-cyl diesel; I'd rather get the six...but that being said, I'd rather have the diesel. If its all about fuel savings, and you have to be buy a %$*^ing 4-cyl engine, why wouldn't you buy a diesel, which will give you 15 more mpg- with about the same performance? You need premium fuel anyway for the turbo. Diesel is on par with premium around here. The only issue is cost- can BMW make it in the range of the 4-cyl or will it be as expensive as the 6 cyl. In that case, I'll take the 6.

Winning!

twinturboa51 · 12-20-2011, 09:22 AM

i want a 320d!

speedfan · 12-20-2011, 11:57 AM

I skimmed through it, but couldn't find "turbo lag" words, so, it's so far so good huh.

DITO.. Does anyone know If the US market will be able to purchase one by this time next year?? will they make a coupe?

can't wait for the aftermarket engine enhancements. This could be a very sweet deal. A little turbo boost, etc and the fun really begins
