Flick the shift left to DS n see it rev happily to redline ard 5k rpm, still lower than the petrol cousin but packs enough pulling power comparably thru the torque curve. Alternatively, depress accelerator half-way to get the turbo spooling n hold ard 2k rpm for a short 1sec, then floor it n all hell will break loose all the way to redline. That's the proper way to kickdown, and not just flooring it immediately, incurring obvious turbo lagTo each his own, as I can respect that some of the world's best supercars are still NA.Ultimately, I do agree that to break down wind resistance, u need horsepower over torque. And that's where the d may lose out to other hp monsters. The powerkitted 320d brings quite a respectable 200 bhp with m3 like torque of 420nm, which should b enough for mere mortals like us</blockquote>
