A 325i does not 'lack pace'. Compared to a 335d it does, compared to a 320d it very much doesn't.

There must be some stats somewhere ?

After the years warranty runs out does anyone go to any other warranty companies other than BMW ?

[HoHoHo]

There is less than a second 0-60 between the 325 & 320d

We all know diesels have moved on over the last few years - the 550D M sport is 0-60 within a 10th as quick as my M5. However diesels deliver in a different way, they can run out of puff but on the whole....

We know they're pretty good (ask Audi or anyone at Le Mans) My old '07 535D was a fecking brilliant car, a car that was quick 0-60, would go past 155mph and return 35-40mpg fully loaded.

Those who dismiss diesels are doing do out of their preference for petrol.....simples.

I reckon it's jealousy . Anyone can buy a petrol , chuck a loud exhaust on it to sound better . Doesn't matter if the 3 litre petrol is quicker ,I will be waving while they have stopped at the petrol station twice while I am still on the same tank of fuel lol

I wouldn't buy it without driving it simply because it's a really terribly suited engine to that car. The last thing you want in a drop top is a noisy 2 litre diesel. You obviously don't care about running costs - a set of tyres on those bling wheels is a grand - so why ruin a convertible with an engine like that?

£1K for tyres lol

Where do you get ripped of for yours?

Got some 4 weeks ago

Goodyear Eagle F1 255/30/19 £152
Goodyear Eagle F1 235/35/19 £115

£534

You can get midrange tyres for about £440

That ain't a grand

Have you ever either been driven in a modern diesel or driven one?

Oh, and regardless of which car of yours you might be in, as I waft past you in my M5 I'll definitely feel sorry for you
