If Audi recently presented its V12 diesel engine with enough power to feed a small country, BMW has just taken a step in the opposite direction cancelling the production of their diesel V8. Those responsible for the signing argue that the turbo engines with direct injection and six-and even four-cylinder offers more than adequate performance for buyers who look for a car with a fuel efficient.
Norbert Reithofer, CEO of BMW, confessed in an interview with Auto Motor und Sport that to adapt to new European regulations and American broadcasts would focus on the V6 engines. The engine would be discontinued by this measure would be the V8 at 90 degrees and 4.5 liter engine, which currently assembles the Series 7.
The market trends, new regulations restricting European and American emissions, increases in oil prices and a market that looks more efficient cars with fuel merely endorse the decision of the German mark.
