Default BMW 120D or 118D

I'm looking to change my Golf GTI as the mpg is really annoying me (26-28mpg) even though it's similar to most of my previous cars (ST, VXR, Scoobs, etc) - must be getting old
I looked at the 1 series BMW a year or so ago then dismissed them as looking "odd" but looking at them now (3 doors) they've grown on me a little?
Looking at owners reviews on AT and Parkers there doesn't seem to be that many negative reviews and most say they're great.
I understand late 2007 models came with a dynamic pack - is that stop/start?
The figures for the 120d show 0-60 in 7.0secs which seems great for a standard diesel so a remapped 1 must fly?

Has anyone got either a 118d or 120d and can comment on reliability, performance, economy, etc?
What is the difference between the 2 - is it just CC or are the engines totally different?

Thanks
