Diesel Tractor... Are They All Like That?
So I recently got a 528i Loaner... I noticed that It sounds TERRIBLE, It sounds like a Loud Diesel Tractor, is this Common with all 528i's? I've driven an X3 xDrive28i and it sounded nothing like that! It doesn't sound very Attractive, a 520i sounds better IMO, BUT,, for the amount of Power this thing has I'd probably shut the Windows and Drive with the Radio On!
Do all you 528i Owners Hate the Sound of your engine? At one point I thought the car has something wrong with it... Does the 328i (Soon to be 330i) sound like that too?

Lol...the 3 series loaner they gave me was the same way! So freaking obnoxiously clattering loud! I ended up leaving it in my driveway and used my son's Corolla instead!

Only at idle does it sound like a diesel. At speed, they sound great. |

I had 2012 528xi and now drive 2015 528xi msport.
Power is plenty, no complains on MY15 "refinement" either (whatever that subjective term conveys) and that's why I am in the second 528.

I have a 2012 N20 528i and dont notice any clatter or rattle noise. I car is very quiet, and maybe at startup the sound is not the best, but other than that I hardly hear it. And I drive with my window down and roof open a lot

When I had the loaner it was very similar to my parent's Volvo diesel...loud and clattery as $hit! it also felt like a 4 cylinder motor running on 3 cylinder only. I guess I really have to hear a newer diesel because there's many people posting about how quiet their diesels are.
