M21d24 is a total hunk of shit

[Julien]

I'm tired of reading these threads/comments about how nice it would be to have a 324td/touring in the united states. Here are some words of wisdom for you:

1. It's slow
2. It's not that fuel effiecient
3. The cool factor from bio-diesel is gone
4. It blows heads like monica l.
5. It shears flywheels that are only available new (~400-500)
It was a first attempt at making a fast diesel motor that sucked.

Change your wet dreams bio-diesel e30 projects to a M51d25, way better in every respect.

I just don't want anyone to be deceived like i was.

As someone that's actually driven a 524td in the states, I concur.

There's a reason diesels have a shitty reputation in the US.

I own one, and yes its:
SLOW

but i do get 750km on a 50liter tank.

however they are expensive to maintain once things like heads and INJECTION pumps start going.

Damn, what a shame. I too dream of smelling of french fries while driving down the road. M51 is a better bet, huh? Did those even get to the US?

[YAN-3]

nope. the m21d24 came in the e28 524td, thats about all

A diesel engine is just a loan, you save in fuel just to spend all savings in fixing when it breaks down. :(

[AlarmedBread]

Just stick in a cummins inline 6 diesel and put a BMW on the valve cover?

Im almost positive BMW sold the engine to Ford to use in Lincoln coupes back in the day, but I could be wrong. Anybody driven one?

Yep, the Lincoln Coupes and the diesel rangers got the M21 as well, both were collosal pieces of shit.

I went to look at a 41 Studebaker and the guy had a Lincoln with a diesel in it and he said that the motor was a BMW. I didn't think nothing of it at the time and i didn't bother looking under the hood either.

I once heard a story of someone trying to commit suicide in their garage with a biodiesel. They just ended up with a ton of acne.

the m51 was used in a variety of cars here.. Range Rover, 325tds/525tds and i think maybe some opels... it can be tuned to 150 hp and something like 280 lb ft of torque with a chip ftmfw
