It may be that it will be discontinued for some markets where the green taxation drives the sale numbers down, but the engine itself is apparently not saying goodbye just yet.

Are you saying that the new 50d engine will warrant a lower tax bracket than is currently identified.
Meaning in the UK from April the 50d first year is a massive 1800.
With this new engine/changes, does it mean we are able to pay less tax as it's not actually producing the figures advised?
Also will this be available in the UK? |
I have no idea about the UK tax situation or which engines they will offer, all the Genius said was that BMW made changes to the M50d to keep it on the market that dictates more and more efficient engines. And that was after it was already discontinued for several months.
So, while I see the M50d not being offered in all the countries that had the chance to enjoy it by now, I remain sceptical about the news that 2020 will be the end of it.
