    If they had carried on as they were doing with the S2 in 1995 Id agree, but I cant say Im much of a fan of the latest offerings!

          I used to think diesels were slow,dirty and noisey.............


          Then I got my Mondeo.



          Now I know they are.

                That 3.0d engine is a great engine and was a step ahead of VAG offerings when it came out, as the new 3.0d twin turbo and the 2.0d twin turbo is now. I'm not really a BMW man but there's no getting away from how good the BMW diesel engines are!!

                  I spent a fair amount of time last night looking at Audi's diesel offerings in my price range, and there really isnt anything that looks remotely interesting!

                  Unless anyone can prove me wrong!? £4500 budget for anyone wanting a challenge...

                    A debate about BMW on an Audi forum? really if you post about the bimmers on here expect this type of reaction IMO.

                    Nice torquey cars, great motorway cruisers but for everyday bit soulless for me

                        An Oil Burner Is an Oil Burner.... Smelly - loud (wrong type of Loud) and crap for quick running on anything other than Mways or major A roads.... IMO...

                        Not that great on the pocket in the long run... unless you are doing lots & lots of mileage - Dearer to service & dearer to buy in the first place.....

                        & COMPLETELY SOULESS!!!!

                        I also think that Beemers age "so quickly".... but that could be said of most modern boxes I guess - Inc AUDI's...

                          All this high pressure stuff will be making it into petrol cars soon and watch dervs go down hill..

                          Something that does my head in with dervs is how does anyone know just how bad for the future are they i mean i have never seen a bus with a clean rear.Always black soot city.. think we will be going back to how it used to be in the black country. Soot and stuff everywhere i know poisions can be clear but im a fan of it looks bad it probably is.
                          But there is a plus point to this derv. The roads are getting that slippy soon Quattro will be the only way around the islands.

                                Especially BMW, they notoriously have coded pumps to the car, if they fail you have to buy OEM again as 2nd hand one won't work
