My First Drive in a D

Gents....

Since my car has been at BMW for the past 2 weeks they have lent me an e90 320D. It is the first diesel car i have driven and i have fallen inlove with it.

Just wanted to share that its an amazing car even though its auto. I have been an i6 lover for many years but that 4 cylinder motor is joyfull to drive. Thinking of getting rid of the 325i since they can’t find the fault and getting a 320d....

Such a pleasure to drive...to the guys that got one....im very jealous now:praise:

Ha-ha-ha! I know the feeling - the first (and only) D I've ever driven was an E46 320d. I had no intention to buy but had a hard time to hide the grin on my face!

Lol i am actually really thinking about it. I bought my 325i from BMW 3 weeks ago. The car has been in and out of there for the past 3 weeks. I have had the car with me for a max of 4 days and keeps going back. BMW cant find what the problem is.

They offered me a refund but i have given them one last chance to get the car right or i will get a refund.

If the 320d is such a good car i can just imagine the 330d.
But ya if i take the refund then i will surelly go 330d route.

Whats wrong with the 325i? You just picked it up, not so?

Yip 3 weeks ago. When i start the car in the morning and drive abit and switch it off, when i swtich it on again the car has a bad miss fire.

When i take it to bmw they say the car is fine. I left it with them for 2 weeks and they said it dint do it once. They called me on friday to fetch it and the very next morning it happened again and it got towed back. I catually videoed the problem and showed it to them this morning. Got a call now and they said they still cant find the problem and its working fine....

So i dont know now.

Hehe...yes, now you know how it feels. Love every moment in my diesel. I've really had to learn to slow down though...already paid a few speeding fines.

just as long as you keep the 130i!!!
swapping a 323/325 for a 320d I can understand...

Hey bro, 130 was sold a while back. It did not suite my needs. Power was awesome and miss it alot but the need for a bigger boot for my kids pram and so on i had to make the change.

I drove it on the higway this morning and doing about 160 the car doesn’t even break a sweat. Really impressed.

Once you go diesel, you go black

The TORQUE is amazing. I also never saw a diesel car as a proper car, when I first drove it, fell in :inlove::inlove:
:bravo:

Yep, when you drive a E90 diesel for the first time it does impress. The way the car picks up speed is very addictive.

well im enjoying every moment in the d. Will have to try the 330d soon. Well either way sooner or later my next car will be a d.

@mo_s Mine has a misfire in the morning also. Leave it for 30min and start again and its fine. Funny thing is that it behaves when at BMW and makes me look stupid. Thats why i took the video. Ill try and upload it so you guys can hear. Got a call from them late afternoon and said they still cant find the fault.....:nonono:
