Message: <blockquote data-quote="Shotgun" data-source="post: 574512" data-attributes="member: 23827">It would seem that my statement has been take out of context. I'm not banging the diesel engine or the fuel. Just merely stating the fact that our diesel here is "apparently" dirtier. The result of that is emissions that does not meet Euro 4 standards. Your engine is only as good as the fuel you put in. By the way, I've also got an E70 X5 3.0d ('08)and I enjoy it. It is overseas and in the market there, diesel has better resale value and economics than petrol engines. Sadly, ask BMW here and they'll tell you the Xdrive 30d is less popular than the Xdrive 35i. I've also owned several diesel 4WDs here from Jap brands since 1998 so I don't need to be reminded of the merits of owning a diesel engined car. Lastly, the point I was making in my statement, if read correctly would be that BMW Malaysia does not publish different  engine output capacities with the different markets they have globally. The reason for that is because their engines are designed to tolerate a very wide range of environmental and fuel conditions. So even though with our perceived "apparent" non Euro 4 compliant diesel here, the BMW diesels here still put out the same power as the ones in the US, Australia and Europe. Which would imply that BMW makes good engines and/or our diesel fuel sold here is not bad at all.</blockquote>
