[QUOTE="alxy, post: 740863, member: 2947"] Hi sifus & bros, Am thinking of getting a used 320d, around 2012-2013. You don't have to tell me the benefits and advantages, on that I am way sold already :) What I want to know is the issues, grumbles, niggles and annoyances that you guys face. Just so I can properly weigh not just the pros, but the cons as well. I am expecting the pros to still far outweigh the cons, but at least I have some idea on what to expect later on. One particular article I read had this to say ([URL="http://www.driverviews.com/bmw-f30-320d-2013/"]http://www.driverviews.com/bmw-f30-320d-2013/[/URL]): "Despite its clear benefits chiefly the better mileage per liter/gallon vs petrol, diesel is still not without its drawbacks (ie nitrogen oxide emissions, higher service costs)" What "higher service costs"? As compared to a 320i? What are you guys experiences with service costs so far? Also heard comments on the loud diesel clatter and smelly fumes, but so far (though only a short 10 minute tryout), i did not think the engine was that loud even though i had the boot open and i didn't notice the diesel smell that much (though i have a neighbour with a diesel Land Cruiser, so maybe compared to the bus-like sound and smell from that, what i experienced was relatively mild :)). But would like to hear from those of you who have lived with it day-in-day-out. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
