The 320d has a turbo, just slap a small turbo on the 323i under discussion here and it leaves all the 320d or even 330d's in the dust.
I don't want to talk about VW, not a VW fan at all, all VW's my car's age or even newer has something falling off it :roflol:
Buying a VW is like planting a bramble bush and hoping it will produce raspberries.
