Wellard, I am sorry, I thought you knew what car that was. "120D TDI"

(factory race car)

There is a big shift to high performance TDI endurance racing cars. Since this was a DE thread, I saw this as a perfect car for putting around the track during DE's and racing in GTS events with NASA etc. Torque/power curves put this car as a front runner if you poney up the coin. ( 90,000, euros). Keep in mind this is a factory race prepped diesel as Porsche specs the 911 alot of goodies come with this race car.

With almost 50% better fuel economy in a race, the diesel pits about when it needs tires (2hours) perfect for an enduro and driver changes (or double stint).

Ahh, no, it just looked like a 1-series to me. Thanks for the heads-up. BMW does a great diesel engine, so I have high expectations for that machine. I'll have to go looking for the specs.
