"They" reckon that the 123d is the best engine to go for.

its such a capable car,im averaging 43mpg about town,and 55 if i behave on motorways,not bad for having over 200 horse!
the engine is a cracker,i had a 57 plate 320d,and thought the engine in that was fantastic,then when i got this-wow!!with the twin turbo its amazing,pulls strongly from 1400 to 5000 rpm,it just doesnt drop off!its the low down torque that impresses most though!!cant wait to get it re-mapped,its going to be amazing then!!

i think you really need to experince one of these diesels,you would almost be a convert,to get the most out of it you have to drive it like a petrol engine,it really does rev well!ill be the first to admit that it may not thrill like a petrol does,as the sound leaves a little to be desired,but for sheer capability,i cant fault it!plus the economy figures speak for themselves!

and before you think im a dieselhead,i got rid of an 09 plate audi S3,pushing approx 330bhp to get this,and i dont miss it!

Nice wheels!. Are those carbon mirror covers? BMW ?.

Looks lovely but I would say that as I have a white 120d coupe wink

£200 each! Ouch!

I'd love a set of those wheels, just other homes for the cash at the moment.
