Hi all,

First post. Have been lurking for months now. Just need to say great gtreat info on this site and a positive attitude from most members.

I am based in the u.k and am in the process of deciding which E70, 3.0d or 4.8i i should buy to export to pakistan, going over for a two years business. I have been told by the bmw dealers in Pakistan that due to the high sulphur content in diesel over there, although they are selling diesels!!! They say that the diesels that they are selling have some engine modifications. Does anyone know what they are?

Also, after how long should one change the motor oil? in Diesel and petrol.

Finally does anyone have running and maintenance costs comparisons for the 3D and 4.8. The price of diesel and petrol is the same in Pakistan.

Thanks.
