I work hard day and night, 7 days a week for money to buy a 520d. I am not "paid to write" anything.And please note this... I have never claimed that I am an auto engineer or in the auto industry or that my opinions are more important than anyone here. If others want to say so, they can say so... I'm going to state specifically now that I am not making any such claims so why do you have to attack me personally? Somemore bring up animal names all... haihAll I was doing (in another thread) is question the baseless comments that people keep bringing up bashing the reliability of the "d" models based on pure conjecture and hearsay.The comment I made earlier was about bringing up in laws allegedly quoting things by ex BMW staff. It's alwyas so convenient. Mention that the person is a relative to establish the idea of a trusted person. Then say the relative heard from someone who works in BMW, or works in Auto Bavaria, or works in used car dealer, etc etc etc, to give them credibility.Then they will say, all these people advice them not to buy diesel... but the story never goes beyond that as to WHY NOT BUY DIESEL? There's no reasons given, no reasons why got all this negativity.I don't mean to be rude or anything but it's always the same... empty comments, but always putting down the "d" cars, with no real facts coming out.Before I bought my 520d I also did my own fact checking, I asked in the E90 thread how the 320d owners are doing with their cars so far, after many pages of positive comments only I felt confident to take the plunge to buy the 520d. I was looking for facts, and I got positive facts. I wanted to know how a fresh car that was launched after the Euro 2 fuel was introduced was faring... I did not want to hear about cars that had run on the old terrible thousands of ppm sulphur fuel, our Euro 2 fuel is tested to be under 500ppm.Where are the actual accounts/experiences of people suffering with their "d" cars??? If someone were having issues with the current Euro 2 fuel, I'm sure he would be screaming all over the forum like the people having suspension problems on the F10.The reason why I have an issue with people spreading baseless rumours about the "d" cars is that it will affect my own financials in teh future in the sense that my car's resale value will be affected for no good concrete reason. Not because I am "paid" la... isn't that logical and completely acceptable?I hope I have explained myself, and I don't mean to offend anyone, I'm not going to comment any further... gonna just let this thread flare into the typical diesel (and diesel owner too it seems now) bashing party and die off.</blockquote>
