Maybe that’s true where you live. Not all markets are the same, though. I live in Norway and the majority of vehicles sold are wagons.

No want? Seriously?

As you are likely aware, the DPF requires heat to be effective. In cold weather conditions it takes longer to heat it up thus making it less effective when driving in a city, due to shorter distances and less load on the engine. Several European cities experience unhealthy levels of air pollution during the winter,…

Yes. They’ve been on the market for quite some time though it appears not to have helped that much as of yet.

At least you can gain access to the battery and jump start it.

If you’re talking about C02 perhaps but what about NOx ? If you read the article, you will discover that NOx is the problem.

With the rise in diesel popularity in the US, I wonder how long it will take you to come to the same realisation that diesel and cities don’t mix that well.

Is it electronic or mechanical? Ie. will you be all out of luck if you lock your keys in your cars and then return to a car with a dead battery?

My pleasure! Might I add that you have a great taste in your choice of automotive transportation!

I like it. I have since I first saw it one year ago when it entered the market. My one question is, why does it not have what the market demands?

The smallest diesel engine available in the X3 is called the 18d and has 136 hp. It’s only avaiable with s-drive. It’s basically the same engine as the 20d, a 2 litre diesel. AFAIK the 28d is not available only the 30d, which is a 3 litre engine with 211 hp. Not sure if there ever was a 28d at least I’ve never heard…

Terrorist strikes on popular tourism destinations like Antalya are bound to happen. The tourism sector makes up for around 10% of the Turkish economy and will likely suffer greatly in the coming months and years. How long before an incident like in Tunisia? Even a minor attack is bound to decimate the industry.

We use “kilometerstand” in Norwegian as well. That or just “How many kilometers has it done?” or something similar.

Fast attack craft, Bond villain style.

Why are idiots like these allowed to hold a drivers license?

I’m not an American and I don’t own a French car, but I can think of a few reasons why someone would put them selves through this “across the pond”...

Sounds like a lawnmower.

This looks safe.

This. On 99,99999999% of cars it utterly pointless and looks like shit.

Street racing is bad and you should feel bad. Who the fuck are you to close down a public road for your own entertainment, endangering other peoples lives in the process.
