I missed this post. I'd be genuinely interested at this too.

Bear in mind that these are for the X6 and not the uprated engines in the F10 but the results will not be dissimilar:

You have to be kidding? That's a ruined chavtastic autovogue thing, its terrible.

If it had different wheels, what would you think then? Personally as aftermarket bodykits go, it looks great and fits with the rest of the car really well. The wheels are hateful though, definitely needs something else....

You've never driven a good BMW diesel because the dealer sees you coming and pretends none of the demonstrators are taxed.

I asked for a drivers car in the BMW showroom, and he couldn't actually point me to anything, other than M3, and then when i threw Diesel in there as well, he lol'd at me and told me to stop taking the ****.

Then you woke up and Mum asked if you wanted soldiers with your boiled egg.

Did you think of that all by yourself?

[TW]Fox · 7 Nov 2010 at 20:49

No, I read it in a book Will Gill sent me.

I believed you, up until you said you could read.

That Audi Q7 V12 TDI quattro looks the dog's wotsits. Fabulous stuff.

He can read, i taught him.

Saying that i tried to teach you as well, you failed as you kept day dreaming about performance diesels.

I prefer the Touareg. Shame it only gets the V8 though..

You'll be coughing on our fumes! The Cayenne only gets the underpowered V6, which doesn't make any sense.

That's why I said it. At least have a V8 in there or a V12 like the Audi. But Noooo, they give it a 3.0TDI.

Lots of torque low and low revs will still give you good BHP at the flywheel.

I think I see where your coming from on that, but, to my mind a mere 414BHP from an 11.7litre seems fairly poor in terms of sheer BHP to my mind.....

Capacity: 11.7 litres
Compression Ratio: 17.0:1
Maximum net power: 414hp(309kW) at 1,900rpm
Maximum net torque: 2,100Nm(1,549lbft) at 1,100-1,350rpm

Your comment made me think of my truck, which is what I quote....., to me 414bhp from that size of engine is pretty poor.

Sure, its all about torques, I appreciate that, it just made me wonder, thats all.
