Once the most popular type of fuel on the Old Continent, the oil-burner is gradually falling out of favor. Bucking the trend, BMW believes the engine still has a future and is offering diesel engines for everything from the 1 Series all the way up to the 8 Series.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/07\/27\/2023-bmw-3-series-touring-lci-320d-m-sport\/\">B47<\/a> is a familiar diesel engine as it can be found in a variety of models, including this current-generation 5 Series Touring in the pre-LCI guise. The four-cylinder 2.0-liter unit makes 190 hp and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) in stock form, but we\u2019re being told this wagon has gone through a stage 3 kit. It now pumps out 276 hp and a massive 606 Nm (447 lb-ft) courtesy of a hybrid turbo and other mods.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-214285\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-750x469.jpg\" alt=\"2017 BMW 5er Touring G31 Wallpaper 1920x1200 03 750x469\" width=\"750\" height=\"469\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-750x469.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of 2017 BMW 5er Touring G31 Wallpaper 1920x1200 03 750x469\"\/><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload alignnone size-medium wp-image-214285\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20750%20469%22%3E%3C\/svg%3E\" data-src=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-750x469.jpg\" alt=\"2017 BMW 5er Touring G31 Wallpaper 1920x1200 03 750x469\" width=\"750\" height=\"469\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-750x469.jpg 750w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.bmwblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/2017-BMW-5er-Touring-G31-Wallpaper-1920x1200-03.jpg 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" title=\"image of 2017 BMW 5er Touring G31 Wallpaper 1920x1200 03 750x469\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The extent of the modifications this rear-wheel-drive wagon has gone through is not being detailed in the video, but the exhaust has certainly been altered. It doesn\u2019t sound too shabby for a four-cylinder diesel, but it\u2019s no inline-six or a V8. Later in the video, the driver performs a 0 to 62 mph (100 km\/h) and the car appears to need around seven seconds to get the job done, which is nearly a second less than the standard <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2021\/05\/22\/bmw-520d-touring-the-5-series-to-own\/\">520d Touring<\/a> equipped with the automatic transmission.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s certainly not an impressively quick car but that\u2019s to be expected given it\u2019s a four-cylinder diesel in a vehicle that weighs nearly 1,750 kilograms (3,850 pounds) with a driver and all the necessary fluids. While you won\u2019t be breaking any <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bmwblog.com\/2022\/12\/12\/2024-bmw-x6-m-facelift-spy-video\/\">N\u00fcrburgring<\/a> records, it\u2019s the perfect Autobahn tool for devouring miles with remarkably low fuel consumption.<\/p>\n<p>BMW is preparing to retire the G30\/G31 and make room for the next-generation cars (G60\/G61), which will definitely have an assortment of diesel engines tailored primarily to European customers. The wraps are coming off in the next months, with the sedan likely to arrive first.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=L7Zyopc0ezI\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AutoTopNL \/ YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"276HP BMW 5 Series 520d G31 *HYBRID TURBO* POV Test Drive\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/L7Zyopc0ezI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen=\"\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Due to stricter emissions regulations in Europe and the proliferation of hybrids and EVs, the diesel engine is a dying breed.
