kiwi535 538 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 (edited) the V8 diesel in the 740 is absolutely unbeleivable..i think its well over 200 kw! edit...no its not The BMW 740d, in turn, develops maximum output of 190 kW or 258 bhp at 4,000 rpm and maximum torque of 600 Nm or 442 lb-ft between 1,900 and 2,500 rpm.

deeveus 81 Report post Posted April 1, 2008 (edited) yeah the E38 had a 4l diesel too.... I want your E30 for free Zeitgeist in your sig. Please PM me for delivery details... Jokes.... Have seen that movie Zeitgeist and there's some pretty controversial stuff in there! The new X5's not sure if they are released yet in NZ, but the new ones have a 286hp (213.27kw!!!) 560nm torque inline 6 twin turbo (small turbo for otherwise lag RPM's and one big bastard when the engine has reached a decent RPM to push it even further) diesel engine. Those figures aren't at all bad for a twin turbo 6 cyclinder petrol let alone a oil burner! Imagine if they put that engine into the 1,3,5 series sedans which I think they are... Imagine 213kw let alone 560nm of torque on a 1 series!!! You'd twist the chassis lol! Edited April 1, 2008 by Deeveus525i Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
