Tweaked X3 gets 282bhp diesel

The new powerplant is a twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel producing 282bhp and 428lb (580 nm) ft of torque that has been developed from the engine used in the BMW 535d. It gives the auto-only X3 3.0sd seriously rapid performance, with 0-62mph in 6.6 seconds and a 149mph top speed.

And if they stick this engine in the 3-series Coupe, with 580 nm from 1750 rpm, even a 997 will have trouble keeping up with it, from say 80-120 kph.



Torque does nothing for the acceleration of a car. Horsepower does. All these torque figures is just marketing bullshit....

I will never buy a diesel car/truck. Never.
