I have, I cannot stand the diesel sound and I don't care for the power and torque delivery, love the linearity and sound of the N52 even if I probably lost 23 ponies when I moved here. The N20 is a good engine, it is just unexciting and uninspiring and I have a hard time paying more than 40K for something equipped with a 4 pot engine. The only reason I bought a BMW in the first place is gone, don't like the brand enough to pay so much money for something (probably - I would still give it a test drive before being that definitive) less special than my current car... Too bad, i think it looks good...
