Please let me have all your feed back just how noisy is the engine( from inside the car with window shut and not driving agressively)
I am really worry that it will be very noisy and un-refined as I am not going to get the 30D.
I value all you feed back!
Less noisy and more refined that the E60 520d according to Bimmer Uk in the link below.

Drove one noise level was acceptable from outside given it being a diesel, quiet from inside in the auto version and noise from outside reduced as car warmed up. Not as quiet as a petrol though.
