    Common Rail??

  3. marek556 says:

    i - means fuel injection

  4. bizlur says:

    Agreed 100%. A lot of German companies are starting to push diesel a lot more recently. VW, BMW and Mercedes.

  5. vanslembr says:

    its not at all that we dont have diesel fuel here. but people in the US dont want to buy diesel cars. otherwise we'd have alot more to choose from than we currently do. people assume they are loud, and smelly like the trucks we are so familiar with. people also assume they are low on power. most americans are just unfamiliar. that is all. it will catch on eventually i think."

  6. pillsauve says:

    ...seriously?

    Of course its available in the US. It is just not usually used for small cars.

  7. homerdrivesfast says:

    i'm gonna love the 335d the 335i is already notoriously fast and high torque. if u look at the figures for that car, its putting out almost twice as much torque as hp

  8. homerdrivesfast says:

    can that stuf be turned into nitrous oxide thats used to fuel some drag racers and salt flat racers(and vidoe game cars but no street cars use it)

  9. ToroQ3000 says:

    Well, the problem with diesels (the ONLY problem) is that they do emit too much Nitrogen Oxide and Nitrogen Dioxide (NOx). The Carbon emittions are already twice as good as petrol and at a rate that does not fuel "global warming" (though should be called "over abondance of Carbon Dioxide), usually between 0.8 and 1.0 lb/mile.

    Diesel is choked off for most smaller cars... they are required to meet stricter emissions than gasoline-powered cars. Most manufacturers don't bother getting their Euro-diesel engines certified here because they can't ever make up the cost.

  11. SierraCinema says:

    i never see any diesels, my family owns a merc 300d a vw tdi and a ram cummins, diesels are far better than petrol cars in economy and reliability

  12. Amazetbm says:

    It's the combustion cycle of the diesel which is more efficient. I I doubt if one could summarize it here. But in any case BMW is bringing the 335d to the States this fall. Hopefully they'll consider sending us the 1-series diesels in the near future.

  13. bizlur says:

    There are. Not many though. I have seen several Blutec Mercs around. No diesel BMWs though, I think they are introducing one next year here. And the big 4 wheel drive trucks here are diesel, they uses cummins and powerstroke diesels. Not for economy but for the torque they achieve with diesel.

  14. bizlur says:

    There is diesel... mostly for big trucks etc. There are some mercs, and vw tdis around, but mostly just trucks. Its used primarily for the torque in the US than it is for economy. I don't know why though... I would love to have a small diesel powered car for a second car to use as a daily driver to work and back. The best MPG in the US is from the Prius which only gets around 50, small diesels in Europe get in the upper 60's. I don't understand it...

  15. XraYSoLo says:

    @ the american unsers here:

    is diesel fuel now also available in america?
    nearly everyone says that in the states diesel is unknown ;-)
    and please tell me about this rumour.

  16. XraYSoLo says:

    with the correct charging diesel is more powerful. it even needs a less PS/HP for the same performance as a gas engine.

    the VW TDI and the US cummins engines are good examples.

  17. Xiber1 says:

    too bad no diesel benz or bmw in usa, Americans are allergic to diesel cars even the big monster 4 wheel drive here are not diesel, all powered by gasoline

  18. Amazetbm says:

    The 335d is coming state side in the Fall. I really want a 330d because it has a manual transmission.

  19. bizlur says:

    No... it just has a longer range. So at 24 hour races, gas powered gas have to fill up more often which takes time and lets the diesels get ahead.

  20. hish911 says:

    is diesel soppesed to be faster

  21. bizlur says:

    They offer both. In the USA they only have the regular gas version. In Europe along with other countries they offer a diesel version, the diesels can be identified by the letter d after the number. Example, 330i is regular gas while the 330d is diesel. The i does not mean gas though, i means sedan.

  22. hish911 says:

    is the bmw 3 series diesel engine

  23. Lindholmer5k says:

    Its fun to see diesels in racing =) The tdi leon and bmw might starting using the diesel in wtcc too ^^,

  24. Asa7 says:

    yea! BMW Power for you
