Jinxy this is exactly the move I made from 330d Sport to 147 GTA (year old demo car). Yes the 330d is pretty special, but the Alfa pulls just as hard from low revs, as the torque to weight ratio is pretty identical between the two cars.

When you finally get to drive one, you will be surprised how refined it is compared to the Beemer, and you will never find yourself in the wrong gear, as I consistently did with the Beemer.

The noise the Alfa makes is something to behold, widely regarded as one of the best engines in the World, and some jorno's have even said that is better than the current crop of Ferrari V8's !.
