BMW diesels in NZ

Recommended Posts

Amazingly few diesels on the road in NZ, especially for normal road cars (as opposed to 4X4s). You'd think with a country like ours with high petrol costs & low average incomes that efficiency would be more of an issue. Look at the level of Europeans that drive diesels!

It will take a generation to get people away from the 'dirty smelly gutless' label on the diesel vehicle. Maybe its because our vehicles are so old (read online last week that our vehicles are on average 12 years old) that we don't realise how good some of these are.

Mind you the line has been blurring between the two, as petrol engines gain efficiency and diesel engines gain performance. But hey, I'm a bit of a hypocrite as I don't own one myself.
