Back on the topic of diesels in smaller vehicles. The warranty on my 328d is finally up and I decided to celebrate with remap tune and a new downpipe. Should bring the 2.0L diesel to about 220hp/370lb-ft at the wheels(roughly 250hp/425lb-ft at the crank), but I will do a few dyno runs to make sure. That is a **** ton of torque in a compact car that weighs less than 3,500 lbs.
Oh darn, I guess I won't be legal in California anymore. Good thing I never plan on going there.
What year is your 328d and how many miles on it? I just picked up a used 2015 VW Passat TDI SEL with 25k miles on it in TX for $16,500. Granted, front wheel drive, and 150 HP 240ft lbs torque, but it's great at 80 -85 MPH on interstate, and easy on fuel, too.
