BMW 635d Spotted!
The above spyshot of a yet to be released facelifted BMW 6-Series confirms a rumour that has been going around for quite sometime – BMW is going to put diesels into it’s grand tourer, the BMW 6-Series.
With 286 horsepower and 580Nm of torque from as low as 1,750rpm, the BMW 635d would be the 6-Series with the most torque, even beating the flagship BMW M6’s 5.0 liter V10 normally aspirated petrol engine. What gave away the oil burner under the hood was a shot of the 6-Series instrument panel which has the word Diesel on it.
Together with the facelift comes some changes with the other models – the 630i will be replaced with a 635i, or perhaps retain it’s name, but what’s important is the 3.0 liter normally aspirated engine will be replaced with the award-winning 3.0 liter twin turbo gasoline engine that made it’s debut in the E92 3 Coupe. The V8 6-Series will likely remain mostly the same.

Wow, fast car with oil saver, fantastic by BMW. Almost a perfect combination since petrol prices never seem to come down. Since European countries love diesels these days, i’m sure this is going to fit perfectly into their market. So what’s it’s 0-100 dash record anyway?

Good combination of style, performance and economy. Diesel versions of sedans normally get the cooler all black interior too!

[...] The E70 BMW X5 will also get a more powerful diesel variant, and no prizes for guessing which engine will supply that power – the award winning 3.0 liter twin turbodiesel that first appeared in the 535d. The BMW X5 3.0sd will likely put out similar power figures to the 535d, 335d, and X3 3.0sd – 286 horsepower and 580Nm of torque. This same engine will also find it’s way into a 635d, spied recently on test runs. [...]
