BMW is an interesting exception by daring to bring in the 5 series diesel, but I reckon they're either taking a risk or their system is somehow superior to others (although I doubt the latter because the sensitive components - injectors, pumps etc - are only supplied by a couple of companies e.g bosch, siemens etc)</blockquote>
