As expensive as BMWs are, the tool kit is both sparse and not of the

However, the replacement does not inspire confidence and so I am looking for
another 5 ? series and have

What was the last BMW engine that had essentially mechanical injection
as opposed to common rail? Are they available from dismantlers in
Germany or elsewhere in the EU? I wonder how hard building a diesel BMW
would be using a BMW engine, before they import them again. I don't
