Specification levels will be identical to the M40i and, producing 326 hp from its twin-turbocharged inline-six, it is only a tenth of a second slower to 60 mph. The current gas-powered M40i may produce 34 hp more but the diesel M offers 502 lb-ft of torque vs. 369 which should give it even quicker in-gear acceleration figures. That is something that will be of more use in day-to-day driving as will the usually superior diesel fuel economy. The claimed combined economy is 36 mpg, which is far better than the X3 M40i’s 27 mpg figure. It of course also meets all of the latest strict emissions standards.
