That's why BMW have many models to meet individual preferences. But there is nothing wrong in pointing out facts As I've said, the 320d is like usain bolt. Fast off the block with enormous bursts of acceleration, and will be nearly unbeatable on any 100 or 200m events. But pitch usain against Michael Johnson in a 400m event, and u will see Michael catching up to usain by 300m and probably pip him at the 400m finish line. There, some ppl may not grasp this simple concept hence could not comprehend the better 0-100kmh of the 325i compared to stock 320d, yet reading of tapau who and whom (note: the powerkitted 320d 0-100kmh is now officially quicker). Using the above analogy, the 320d will lead from 0-70kmh but as greater wind resistance set in, the bigger hp of the 325i makes the difference n pips the 320d at the stopwatch. It is this bursts of acceleration that makes overtaking such a joy for the 320d owners whilst top speed is the 325i's pleasureThat is all! nothing much to argue over except to manage your expectations</blockquote>
