Is the Volvo S40 worth going for ahead of a BMW 320d?

I'm looking at a Volvo S40; basically just got permanent contract at work and want something to take me from my boy racer days to a more complete car with nice kit. It's the 2.0D version, and wanted to know what power the engine has. Secondly, is this a wise choice? I.e. in terms of a complete car has Volvo done at least a solid job on these? I don't want to go for a BMW 320d! Cheers guys!
