Hence that's why, in my opinion, on twisty roads the 320d can keep up easily with the 325i.Like i said before the 320d can certainly make it very hard for a 325i in a twisty road but come highways or in higher gears i.e. 4th and 5th that's when a higher engine speed will win the day <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" /> I've had a friendly encounter with both cars and the 320d certainly left a good impression on me more than the 325i. With a remap or chipped a 177hp 320d can certainly be bump up to 215hp that is certainly very attractive.</blockquote>
