It will target European markets mainly - thus I6 diesel, not V8.

Re: Diesel 6 series rumors/speculations.

Cars that NEED the 4.5 V8 diesel:

545d ----> E 420 CDI

645d ----> CLS 420 CDI

X5 ----> to combat the big engine German SUV cars a bit

Re: Diesel 6 series rumors/speculations.

E420 CDI is too heavy car and too thirsty even for a diesel, totally pointless afaic, as well as the 545d... My two boys are doing a great job, no need for bigger engine...

654d? I agree!

X5 V8 turbo diesel? Hell yeah!

Re: Diesel 6 series rumors/speculations.

Ofcourse give the V8 more power. 330 HP from a 4.5 is embarassing.

Re: Diesel 6 series rumors/speculations.

286 HP from a 3 liter = 95.3 HP/litre = european ratio = good on displacement tax vs. HP

330 HP from a 4.5 litre = 73.3 HP/litre = american ratio = bad on displacement tax vs. HP

on a 95.3 ratio for 330 HP you would need 3.15 litre engine, not a 4.5.
