BMW is makeing diesel cars

[MrPolaris]

Interesting. . . I am a huge fan of the diesel . . whether is be a truck or smaller car. . .better gas mileage, more power. . . looks like BMW is oneo f hte first to really do it in America. . . Subaru is supposed to be coming out with the boxer Diesel engine in 2009, already in Europe. . . VW is coming back to America also with the VW Rabbit TDI. . . I cannot wait. . .

The Volkswagen TDI and the Mercedes Blue Tec is already available here in the U.S., but it will be nice to see more diesel vehicles here. Honda is also supposed to be bringing a 50 state legal diesel here as well.

Sweet.

My buddy Joe had a BMW wagon that was diesel.....regularly would go 140MPH on the autobahn (he lives in Bonn)


I think it's taken YEARS for people to get over their impression that diesel cars are gutless....those old MB diesels had no turbo and were Slooooow. But you know what....I worked with a guy who had one, with over 400,000 miles. Amazing.

Diesels are the way to go. Cheaper to upgrade power, get more power than gas, longer life span, longer distance on a gallon fuel. We looked at the VW TDI, they are pretty nice, and if we were in the market for a new car we would probably get one.
