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.

V10 td Touareg didn't last long. Old tech Unit injection engine, effectively just a pair of VW's long serving 2.5 inline fives on a common block. Audi's 6.0-litre V12 has also been a bit of a sales fizzer.
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.
