And you have the beginnings of weed growth.

My BMW diesel is as quiet and actually cleaner than a petrol equivalent. It’s mahooooosively faster and significantly,ore economical, too :p
Sorry, I can't hear you.......ringing in my ears from the battering they took in the 430d in slow moving traffic yesterday.......

Well, you must have a duff car then. Either that, or you’re an old drama queen. Mine is pretty quiet on the inside. I’ll admit she’s not as quiet as my diesel C class was but still quiet.

I can only relate to my own diesels and I’m on my sixth since 2001. My 406 was a noisy heap of shite but the others were all pretty good. My Volvo V50 was probably the quietest of the lot. Before buying my Discovery in 2007, I test drove a Freelander, which was, by far, the noisiest vehicle I’ve ever had the misfortune of riding in. It was like a mob of skeletons wanking in a biscuit tin. I’ve been in quieter helicopters flying back and forth rigs!

My present Panzer is not the quietest of my diesels, probably about midway, but I’m ok with that as I like the roar of the engine in Sport + mode when I’m blowing the gay petrols into the weeds.
