The reason for the use of the TD6 motor in the RR at the time was not to bring the X5 out ahead or any other sillyness - BMW wanted nothing but the best for LR during the LM's development - but to offer a more economical alternative to the petrol V8. To win over a larger market share. To sell more RR's. No sense in having 2 equally thirsty vehicles in the lineup that only differentiate themselves through their brand of liquor.


Well, that's interesting. I always wondered why they didn't use the diesel V8 and assumed it was not to out do the X5 or for cost of 4 wheel driving the V8. I guess when the FFRR was being designed there wasn't this big push for diesel in such an expensive car.

Feeling even happier with my purchase. Thanks SteveMFr.

Tell you something, I get lots of people looking at my car and thinking I'm rich. They have no idea how cheap the car is to buy and run.
