personally, i think this is the engine bmw should have bought to the usa, not the 35d. as good as the 35d is, i think that the only way to get americans on the diesel bandwagon is to see just how economical they are. the 123d gets about 20 mpg more than a golf gti, but with similar performance. the 116d has better mpg than the prius.
but seriously, i'd buy a car with 200 bhp, almost 300 lb/ft torque, that can get 45 mpg.
Where I live putting in fuel in that car from a green pump is a bad idea.

Good injectors and turbo is everything you need to have that power in any engine.

The coupe looks better than the hatch back.

Americans got tricked into thinking Hybrid is better. Well it's clearly not far along enough to be better. Diesel FTW.

Lucky you! :) I only had the chance to spend a day with the 123d and fell in love. What a sweet little car ...

I have the same car in 120d not quite as fast but 0-62 in 7.3s with 350 Nm from 1750-3000rpm and 177hp @4000rpm is not bad for a diesel.
With 46 MPG (normal driving with full acc at time to time) it's good for the wallet aswell.
The VNT turbo does the trick.

The coupe I thiink looks great. I'm not so gone on the "Tortoise" styling of the hatchback version.
The coupe has a nice squat, but firm and muscular feel to it, reminiscent of the 2002 series BMWs from the 70's.
I'm saving up right now and will probably purchase a second hand one in a year and a half.
