Seriously, I can get to like diesel smell more than petrol. To many, the diesel engine sound (don't call it noise lah, Eggie86) sounds too different be likeable but you know, from my experience, once you rev the diesel engine, at the same torque level, a petrol engine will be roaring (maybe even sounds like protesting), but the diesel engine just doesn't even seem to be protesting or complaining - like it's built for torque. Quite a different animal really, just don't know how to justifiably explain. I love my f10, but I love the 320d for different reasons and for different purposes. Makes me feel complete when I can enjoy the best of both worlds - never thought I'd feel this way as I had always been pro-petrol. Honestly, sometimes I find it difficult to decide which car to take to the grocers.</blockquote>
