"Diesel engine developments

The new 2.0-litre four-cylinder diesel gets an aluminium block as well as the latest common-rail injection system. This operates at 2000bar and uses state-of-the-art piezo injectors for improved combustion efficiency.
The result? Increased output, fuel consumption that’s reduced by up to 17 per cent, and vastly lowered CO2 emissions. The new engine, already unveiled in the 118d, will be offered in three different states of tune across a wide range of models; 143bhp (318d), 177bhp (120d, 320d, X3 2.0d, 520d) and, with a variable geometry twin-turbo, a whopping 201bhp in the new 123d. That’s over 100bhp per litre from a four-pot diesel."




Man, now I hope they really bring the diesel engine here, I would buy the 123d.

I hope BMW is reading these forums and considers doing so. The ULS Diesel thats in the US now is prefectly compatible with the 123d. I work at a BMW repair shop right now and I've had multiple customers indicate that they'd be much more interseted in the 123d than the gas cars.

Heck, our household would probably own two.

They have exactly till Honda releases the Accord diesel...One or the other, whoever gets stateside first...And if these things last as long as the Cummins turbo diesels I'm used to, I will not be in the market for another car for about 300,000 miles...or more.

And seeing that I'd probably prefer a Bimmer diesel to a Honda diesel...
