    Without M suspension I believe you would not be getting the most out of what the engine can provide in terms of JOY...

    it depends on the kind of driver you are... if you like it sporty and knowing what your car is doing most of the time and what you are doing to your car, a sports suspension setup like M suspension would be cool...

    the 320D has a spirited engine that would tempt you to squeeze performance whenever you can, and the suspension helps you keep in good contact with what's going on where you're having a nice good go at being Vin Diesel....

    i see. then aside from the suspension, the difference between stock and m sport package is:

    1. steering
    2. rims
    3. bodykit
    4. seat

    Am i correct?

    If you're thinking about the grey imports, ie recon car, you need to check on the engine specification as well. Personally, i think there's too much technical risk with a recon model of the 320D. in the long run, the saving you make from a cheaper purchase price might be given back if you end up with mechanical/electrical problems that need to be sorted out without the coverage of warranty and guarantees.

    I dont think u can get a recon 320d, they are not brought in by grey importers definitely.

    If u look at the spec sheet of local 320d, there is one item "Hot Climate Edition", you have some assurance that it is spec-ed to our local climate.

    Dont take the risk with recon diesels from overseas

    Does the local diesel (euro 2) cause any probs to the engine and performance of the car? Will there be black smoke in the exhaust emission in the long run? I'm keen of getting a 320D as well, but worried with the fuel standard which is far below the grade used in europe and US....any advice is appreciated.....
