You mean the 40d. That's the official designation. Calling it a 4.0d sounds like you are talking about a 4.0-litre engine. Sorry to be so pedantic.

I know this is an old thread but I was thinking if BMW decided to stop ringing the neck of the 3.0d (40d) and made a diesel variant on the 4.4 V8 as they have with the 3.0i, based on litre per Kw it would develop around 330Kw & 880Nm you would nearly think it would be a sufficent line for the X5s 3.0d & 4.4d and possibly the 4.4M(petrol). I might bring it up at the next meeting

I'd be surprised if BMW would bother with a V8 turbo diesel in these times of environmental and fiscal responsibility, but I may be wrong. The 40d is as good if not better most of the V8 turbo diesels anyway. But you're right, given the same specific power/torque as the 40d, you would be looking at 330kW and 880Nm for a 4.4-litre V8 td.

I'm surprised BMW hasn't gone to a V8d by now as part of their line up when you consider that both VW 5.0d V10 toureg & AUDI Q7 6.0d V12 are out there on the market. Also the power race going on with the Euro SAVs hence the introduction of the X5M, so I think BMW sees a level of importance in the power stakes which is why they keep uping the anti in their model range. I agree that the 3.0d that BM runs is an amazing power plant I've only modified the exhaust and remaped the ECU result 203Kw & 615Nm which in a lighter E53 the vehicle is incredible to drive. On another note I went into a Mazda dealership recently to price a new 5 cylinder td one tonner due out in Dec they told me Mazda will no longer be offering a petrol version in any of their commercial range in the future, a trend that others will probably follow.

As for Mazda, even with their current range of BT-50s, it's all turbo diesel ... a 2.5-litre four in 2WD or a 3.0-litre four in 4WD. Same at Ford re the Ranger. No petrol Isuzu D-Max's either. Mitsubishi is also only diesel in the Triton 4WD range while Nissan and Toyota only offer petrol V6s in one model in their 4WD utes. |

I've heard tri turbo diesel for next year, starting with x6
Likely good for 290kw, 650 to 700 nm

With all this amazing technology going into diesel engines and as a result increasing sales, that will give them justification to charge us even more for diesel fuel right! I wonder with eight speed autos, tri turbos and what ever else they come up with, how the threads will read on the forum in years to come.
