Steve,
as a guide to road going diesel sin Europe, I have a BMW 535d
Twin turbos,
280 BHP,
can't recall the torque figure but its very close to the M5.
0-60 in 6.5 seconds and
35-40 miles to the gallon !!!
Not bad for a 5 seater station wagon !
Surprises a few rice burners :-)
Now, would it fit into the Tiger ???
regards
Jeff
