I mean, really, BMW has done a lot break throughs. I still remember the first time I drove 335d, that was just amazing. I couldn't believe that's a diesel. The new 640d is even better. It is just 0.1 dec slower than 640i 0-62mph. I think most ppl are with me so far. The sad thing is they don't bring that much diesel to the US. BTW, I am a true BMW aficionado. Bimmer all the way  |
Make sense to me.
And somehow you guys conviniently forget that Porsche are using VAG diesel in theyr car's now (Cayenne, Panamera)
What's better or worse?
The world evolves, get back on the carousel people, it's not slowing down, not within this company it is, and that is a good thing imo.
BMW are a progressive brand, and very exciting times are ahead of us imo.
