Anyway .... Getting back onto the topic ...... I think I read in the latest BMW magazine someting about BMW offering the newer diesal and petrol engines with higher outputs once our fuel quality improves. Something to do with the amout of Sulpher if I recall properly.
I re-read the document they sent and I agree with you. There will be a need to remove the ECU and sent it to them. Dont know what happen if they accidnetally mixed up the ECU with other cars.
I was searching of Powerchip financial statement to see how viable they are. Apparently no such information avail to public.

Back to topic.. yes Bmw is bring their 125Kw/340Nm(Not 400Nm as I previosuly stated) diesel to australia in 520d and X3 2.0
