A lot of the problems with the machines are caused by the environmental standards , shorter life is supposed to be more environmentally friendly than one that produces smoke . These motors have been failing in a few thousand hours , not the 15 thousand or more they used to run with no problem .

This diesel-snorting V6 shows why no one out-engineers the Germans. It is a monster everywhere except the bowser, with official fuel use of 7.5 litres/100km despite the car weighing 1865kg... In the real world that pushes up into the mid-eights - or higher if you insist on using the transmission in sports mode.
