| Re: Diesel 6 series rumors/speculations. E420 CDI is too heavy car and too thirsty even for a diesel, totally pointless afaic, as well as the 545d... My two boys are doing a great job, no need for bigger engine...  654d? I agree!  X5 V8 turbo diesel? Hell yeah!  |

| Re: Diesel 6 series rumors/speculations. 286 HP from a 3 liter = 95.3 HP/litre = european ratio = good on displacement tax vs. HP 330 HP from a 4.5 litre = 73.3 HP/litre = american ratio = bad on displacement tax vs. HP on a 95.3 ratio for 330 HP you would need 3.15 litre engine, not a 4.5. |
