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? |
The new 50d engine is what's already in the G05.
There is an older iteration of he 50d engine from bmw which had three turbos and different internals but it was never available in G05. If I recall correctly, the only G Series cars that had those engines were the early G11 7 series
