[QUOTE="anxious, post: 377698, member: 193"] Test drove the 320d today at AB pg today. Powerful car but I still prefer the 325i and I find the car smoother and quieter. Not that the diesel is noisy but it cant match a petrol's smoothness. Whilst BMW Malaysia must be credited for bringing back its diesel cars in Malaysia but I feel it'll be sometime before it gets widespread acceptance. Firstly the quality of diesel has to be improved. It is unlikely that we shall see it done here as it would invariably cause the price of diesel to go up and that would effect transportation cost in Malaysia. I also do not see two types of diesel being sold. The other set back for diesels would be the resale value as without much acceptance, the car's resale value will be poor and that would drive away purchases. Its a chicken and egg story. [/QUOTE]
