What's the fuss of owning 320d compared to your previous ride?

[QUOTE="kuntakinte, post: 565423, member: 15653"] There still seems to be so much misunderstanding about horsepower n torque. Read my usain bolt/michael Johnson 400m duel analogy earlier. An 8000 rpm redline sounds orgasmic but in real world KL driving conditions, you'd probably hit the next traffic choke before your needle gets anywhere near the redline. Thus, torque is more desirable in everyday driving, which is why the 320d is the top selling 3er in UK. The torque delivery is pretty muted below 3k rpm in the 325. But that's when the new f30 328i twin turbo to remedy that. [/QUOTE]
