Anyway I personally test drove all three back to back at AB this weekend, 320d followed by the 325i and the 320i. I've driven the 330i for extended periods before so I was using that as a benchmark. The 320d is torquey and smooth but the 350Nm of torque doesn't feel punchy at all, I was kinda expecting more to be honest. The 325i is still a fast car and the 100Nm torque deficit doesn't really show up compared to the 320d. Too bad it's way beyond my price league. The 320i limped along by comparison <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />Since I couldn't find anyone selling a used/recon 330i within my price range, I ended up with the 320d. Only got 6% discount off a pre-reg, my negotiation skills are not up to par yet <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> Happily waiting for the car to be delivered hopefully next week!</blockquote>
