Coming from a 40d F15 and now in a 40i G05 I much prefer the 40i. Unless you’re doing mega miles or perhaps towing I’d seriously consider the petrol option. It’s a much sweeter and refined delivery and it is seriously quick too with no apparent downside to having lower torque than in the diesel.

On a different note the fake exhaust speaker on the diesel M-Sport’s makes me cringe, I would find it embarrassing to be driving a diesel and having it pretend to sound like a petrol V8! It’s not quite as bad as the one Audi use though that’s the current day interpretation of the 80’s tea tray rear wing on a 1.4 escort!
