My favorite part is "Sometimes the cars turns off, I'm not sure what it is, I'm no mechanic, but it can't be anything serious because it starts back up great."
LOL!

What kind of car has a 4500 rpm redline anyways?

Looks like it has gauges borrowed from 320/325 Diesel.

I have to admit that Rip's status dropped a bit in my eyes.

Edit: reason for tacho showing wierd numbers is (most likely) that diesels usually took rpm's from hall-sensor while types with otto-engine took rpm's from ign.coil in older models or from Fuel-Inj./ignition computer in later models.

Well some car which can run 250kmh like slightly overboosted Audi A4 TDi ?

Err guess they don't sell too many Turbo-Diesel familycars over there?

Modern TDi's are having just as much power as otto-engines (gasoline/petroleum) with same size without turbo-chargers but they're having much more torque.
0-100kmh is about same and so is top-speed but accelerating from 60 to 120kmh (or more) with higher gear is much easier with TDi.
Just kick the pedal to the medal and your done.

2,0 130hp
195Nm / 3300rpm

1,9TDi 130hp
285Nm / 1750-2500rpm

Any Gasoline BMW owner knows that its a diesel, I guess I thought it was obvious...

Yeah what ever

I didn't know diesel cars were still made.

Unfortunately, not for U.S. export (BMW)

funkedup · « **Reply #13 on:** July 02, 2003, 07:29:03 PM »

Yes if only they exported them, then you could have a 330 with half the power belching black smoke.
