E60
« on: 11 February 2010, 18:36:41 »
DTM posted a while ago that the Opel 2.5 24v TD was never introduced to the UK as it was never made available in RHD.

But whats in the E60 / current 3 series 525/325?

Can't be the same 12v lump the Omega got?  :-/

just wondering why the Omega never got that unit, and ended up with the 2.2 DTi

Because of a tie up with Renault for the engine supply

I wonder how difficult it would be to fit the 24V unit in a RHD Omega?
