[Title] => Driving the new diesel-powered BMW 520d
[Summary] => "New BMW 520d delivers 21.07 km/li. in DOE fuel economy run"
That statement could very well have been the headline of this article — amazing as it is for a P4 million-plus (P4.09M, to be exact) luxury car to attain fuel consumption figures akin to a tiny economy car.
But that’s not the main reason people buy BMWs, is it? People buy these magnificent Bavarian automobiles for their prestige and performance. Of the former, there is no question. But the latter — with a diesel engine?

[Title] => BMW expands diesel technology with the BMW 530d
[Summary] => 
When Rudolf Diesel invented the self-igniting combustion engine over 100 years ago, the first diesel engine produced seemed destined for use exclusively as a stationary power generator by virtue of its size and slow speed of operation. But Diesel’s original intention of using his engine to drive cars eventually came to fruition, after the concept had proved its viability in commercial vehicles through advances in terms of speed.

[Title] => A true driver’s car even when diesel-powered
[Summary] => When people talk about BMWs as the "ultimate driving machines," they usually think of the marque’s gasoline-powered sport cars and sedans. Little do they know that the prestigious German car maker makes some of the most exciting diesel-powered cars around.
BMW is probably the only carmaker that makes a full-range of high-performance inline-four, six and V8 diesel engines. It all started with the 1983 524td, whose 2.4-liter turbodiesel motor developed a then class-leading 115 hp.
