Diesel-Powered BMW M-Cars - Autoline Daily 813

Ford posted its financial earnings for 2011 and it was the company's best year in over a decade but it still fell short of Wall Street targets. BMW will now offer a diesel engine for select M vehicles in Europe. Chevy announced all of its vehicles sold in the U.S. will have a window sticker explaining the environmental impact of the car. All that and more, plus a preview of Autoline This Week about GM and Chrysler dealers who were forced to give up their businesses during the companies' bankruptcies.

Dealers say they're about Free Enterprise? Gimme a break! Dealers are all about dealers. Let's not be disingenuous. Adam Smith long ago noted that businesses may pay lip service to free and open markets but will seek political advantage whenever possible. Dealers are not "Simon Pure."

@ke228 Oops, I should have listened to it. Chalk one up to impatience.

@1bentley4ever It's M Performance, which will be different from the M cars.

Diesel powered M cars? I think Hell has frozen over.

i need to watch that because i just find hard to believe that some profitable, with no debts, activities have been just shutted down or stolen and gifted to the competition with the force. I'm confused.
