I've read certain people bleating on here about how superior the BMW diesel engines are to the Audi/VW group diesels.
On the subject of BMW diesel economy, my local dealer (when I looked at a 1 series for the inlaws [honest!!]) warned me not to expect book figures for the mpg and they were advsing customers of this due to the volume of people complaining that the cars they sold were not achieving the stated figures.
This thread makes for an interesting read regarding BMW diesel engine failures: http://www.bmwland.co.uk/talker/viewtopic.php?t=53451&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Another reason for me to NOT buy a 3 series rep mobile no matter what its guise.
