BMW 335 TT Diesel coupe

Wise man choice ? Maybe. But not in Bulgaria.
If you could afford 3X price of engine (at the moment still funded by manufacturers), capital overhauling at 40 000 km because of bad fuel quality in Bulgaria (especialy HDI from french car manufacturers), overall higher maintenance costs. If we compare 2.0 HDI and 2.0 petrol turbo engine (with ~0.8 bar or more boost - like HDI diesels) we will notice comparable torque characteristics. It's not good idea to compare NA with turbo engines - NA diesels are boat anchors (but indeed these are poor man's choice, not modern ones). If I compare fuel prices only - I will notice that diesel and petrol (95 octane) here can be bought at the same price. So at the moment I can outperform any diesel engine in terms of fuel saving (indeed - money saving) - if I use LPG with my petrol engine (1.05lv/ll LPG vs 1.65lv/l diesel or 95 octane petrol, summer even 0.85lv/l vs 1.95lv/l). With less problems, low maintenance costs, no risks with bad fuel quality - but carying on board 40-50l steel tank for LPG.
