A car manufacturer will engineer an engine's internals to withstand the amount of pressures it will have to withstand during turbocharging, no issues.Current diesel offered in Malaysia runs at below 500ppm - around 300ppm to 400ppm in fact. That's almost Euro 3 in terms of sulphur content, which calls for 350ppm max sulphur. Of course, we cannot call it full Euro 3 spec because we're only looking at the sulphur content number here.One of my writers Danny spoke to the Peugeot representative here (French guy, not the local Nasim boys) who drives a diesel Pug (Danny can't recall which model - I think its 3008 diesel). Nasim has sent some of our local diesel to France for testing and the results have come back surprising, apparently our diesel is not as bad as all of us think it is and things look positive for the introduction of diesel Pugs here.But yeah, your last point... it will be good to experience the last of the normally aspirated inline-6 before the entire line-up will be filled with turbo petrol engines - already the inline-6 N55 has replaced the normally aspirated V8s, and the inline-4 N20 will now replace the normally aspirated inline-6. In fact, direct injection just spoils the sweet revving sound that you get with the N52... even the normally aspirated N53 really doesn't sound very good and that comment is made from my experience trashing a N53 engined 330i across Germany.PS: This comment was written without having to resort to calling anyone a dog!</blockquote>
