I hope there has not been a topic on it before, but here is the link (2 pages) to the article I looked up after seeing pics of the "superior" BMW D3.

oh, and 560 Nm or 413 lb-ft of torque sounds quite useful to me :P

This proves that BMW makes the best engines in the world. (both diesel and petrol)

It's very cool to see the ever lasting battle between Audi and BMW about "who makes the most powerfull engines". They are driving each other to the limit.

Btw, I think that this engine is 3.5lt, not 3.0.

that is one wicked engine if this carries on normal manafacturers are going to be making supercars with 260mph. Obviosly they need to find betteraerodynamics for that but it's possible

nice...we need more diesels like this.. :)
