I've just picked up an 18d xDrive, and my first impressions are that it is not as fast as my previous VW with similar power, but that is more likely down to the engine still being tight and my reluctance to push it too hard just yet. My daughter has a Mini Cooper which certainly shifts, but that is a petrol and a much smaller car. It all depends on what you are used to. The beauty of the diesel is that it pulls great from low revs and holding on to the gears is no benefit.
