BMW have really done well with this model, but it does lack in the refinement department. OK it is good for a 4-pot diesel, but does give its motive source away. I know many in the UK view it as refined, it is on the cruise, but we do tend to excuse diesel engines over here, partly as many users have no choice in sensible cost motoring.
The same applies to the 320d, still a diesel in feel and sound track, there are other 4-pot diesel engines out there that are a bit more refined and less audible.
