Where's the catch, anons? The more I research about this car, the more perfect it seems.

Brehs, should I get the 184 or 204 hp version? What are the differences in maintenance and fuel economy?
Cameron Reed
both are good.
204hp is obviously better because more hp and it's newer.
there is no "catch" they truly are great yurofag cars, my friend has a tuned e46 330d pushing about 300-320hp (bigger turbo, 535d injectors, remap)

They're the thinkpads of the automotive world. Everyone will see you as the fedora-tipping super-autist if you drive a BMW.

none. its the same m57, but the 204hp version is an upgraded one that was shared with x5,e60 and etc,got a different turbo and swirlflaps which have to be taken out if they havent (otherwise they will sooner or later break and fall into intake manifold causing shit loads of trouble). great engine otherwise,imho the best sounding diesel on the market (modified exhausts on other engines dont count), good performance and great mpgs. quite reliable too.

as far as i know, pushing over 300hp also requires an intake manifold from an e60 530/535.
Henry Reyes
Don't forget to remove those swirl flaps.

All diesels use the same fuel so it literally doesnt matter. Maybe 2 cylinders more and you use max 1 liter more in average.
Also best diesel is still bmw 435d. Insane power.

both are 6 cyls
he was asking if the updated 3.0d is better than the first 3.0d
