Go with the new Common rail engines
like these from the E46 330d

Screw that, get one of the latest generation diesel sixes..

Next generation inline sixes.

[BavarianBimmer]

The 3.0 litre inline six-cylinder diesel develops 530 Nm of torque at as early as 1,500 rpm.
the engine reaching its maximum torque of 560 Nm at 2,000 rpm
the power unit reaching a maximum output of 200 kW/272 bhp at 4,400 rpm. :o


This is dieselpower ;)

word.

That's why i think if i ever got around to buying a new BMW it would either have to be a diesel or an M car.

Yup that next generation 530d is SICK!!! 0-60 in the six (6.7 I think) and get 30mpg what up! BMW two-stage turbo system rocks. One spools low one spools high, YEAH!!!!!!!!

yeeup.. and enough torque to tow something really, really big...

I agree with Rob, I want a modern bmw diesel. I know of a website that has a wrecked 524td in stock but I want the more modern diesel engine.

Charlie, whats the Stevo bumper?

Nobody has answered if it would be possible to convert a petrol car to a diesel.

An E30 324td is in fact the same body/suspension as an 320i car

12v M21 is the same as an 12v M20
24v M51 is the same as an 24v M50 swap wise

EDIT:
I know a couple E46 4banger diesels (320d 2.2l 150hp stock) pushing out 215hp and 395Nm and much easier tuningwise

The early E46 320d was quite a spunky little car. They hadn't resolved turbo lag issues yet though. I had a friend that went drag racing in his girlfriend's 320d. that little bastard hauled ass and didn't consume jack crap worth of diesel.

[riverdale21]

I figured it would be a straight forward swap engine/tranny wise, I was curious also about if I need to do anything different to the fuel system. Modern diesel = hella torque and low gas mileage. Perfect recipe for a DD.

[PanamaE30]

Well, i would think a different tank, lines, having to swap the engine with complete harness, all the sensors... probably the instrument panel. it'd be hard to an E30

[BavarianBimmer]

same difficulty level as an M50 swap
E30 324d and 325i are the same tanks
go with the big case diff.
fuel system : clean everthing for 110% if you wanna go with an Common rail system

[PanamaE30]

no, more difficulty. M50 is an OBD-I engine. New diesels are OBD-II if i'm not mistaken. That alone is a problem, not to mention the EWS issues you'd have to sort out.

Plus, the M50 sends signals compatible with the E30 instrument cluster, newer engines do not; unless i'm mistaken.
