I have looked and cant find a thing. Just want to know if it is worth spending the extra £1000s on the M4.0D

I went from a 30d to 35d (which is a 40d engine) in a 5 GT and the most noticeable thing was the low down response as the 40d has the twin turbo being a smaller and then larger one and the 30d is a single.
It means that the initial shove was much quicker and harder than the 30d. In the 40d with MHT now in the X3 its an even bigger shove in low gears its very strong performance and then some you can rarely use it all to be honest.
The other factor is that the 40d when I was looking at new gives more standard kit that I still wanted so the cost difference ended up smaller than you think.
