I suspect it has to do with diesel since that is the fuel that has sulpher issues.
There IS a sulphur issue with North American petrol(=gas, not diesel) as well. It has been reported that the reason US market is not getting the N53(precision injection) and are stuck with the N52(valvetronic) is because of the sulphur contents of NA petrol. I can't seem to find the article though. I think it was on the new X3 3.0si, but I forgot what magazine it was.
