For you guys with a 330d, do you agree with what they say? I havent yet been in one so am interested in opinions.

Interesting what they say about the acceleration:

It doesn’t sound as exciting as our TDI Allroad’s twin-turbo V6, and subjectively, the acceleration isn’t quite as savage, even if the on-paper stats put them neck and neck. But it’s so fast and so refined, only we true car geeks would ever guess the motor is compression and not spark ignited, and all that torque means more opportunities to steer from the rear than you get in the 320d.

Annoyingly short article. I was going to complain they don't have the M Sport, but they have the M Adaptive suspension, and that's the key functional gap filled.

Why they feel the need to pump us with information about the trim specs and how much extras cost rather then talk about the drive and feel of the car and other interesting things is beyond me.

The forums are so much more informative and in tune with the here and now!

Car mag reviews poor of late I've stopped ready I could do a better job myself, it's what we think its like when we get it that counts for sure
