No issues with my E53 diesel engine as close to perfection as you can get IMHO well the new E70 3.0sd is better of course. It may not sound like the petrol V8 (only downside) but BMW diesel powered cars are probably the most capable vehicles in the world they provide a perfect balance between performance and economy. I get 28 -30mpg (UK gallon) on a two ton truck not bad eh and a 0-60 around 8 secs. For such an old girl none of the equivalent competitors can touch Q7, RR , VW, etc….
