Nothing unrefined about the P38 diesel. Quiet, capable and can cruise at the speed limit fully loaded all day giving 32/34 MPG. Will of course go a lot quicker if required.

I had always had petrols before,(5 of them) but have been pleasantly surprised with my diesel.

I've got both and the DSE's not as bad as the worst knockers of it make out but it just isn't as refined as the petrols and just not brisk enough. I would need the rest of the vehicle to be exceptionally special to consider another. I'm not keen on the 3.0 td BMW sourced engine either I don't think they were up to snuff for a car as high end as a RR until the TDV6 and TDV8 arrived.

Mine is ECU chipped and can be very brisk if needed. But if i wanted a V8 noise and to drive around like a boy racer would just get the manual 928 i have in the garage going and use that.

Only Porche I've ever fancied is the 928. Spotting a connection here some where 
Oddly I always swore I'd never go the V8 route with the Jags as the I6 is stonkingly good, but I have been impressed with the one n the x350, quiet, refined and pulls like a train.
