Enjoy your diesels while you can. An item in the news yesterday says many countries around the world will soon be banning diesel vehicles from their capital cities. Just the tip of the iceberg, diesel has had its day.

Being phased out in 2025
A snippet from the written article
Diesel cars and trucks will be banned in Paris, Madrid, Athens and Mexico City by 2025 as part of a groundbreaking initiative to curb pollution.

At a climate meeting in Mexico, the cities’ mayors also pledged to incentivise electric, hybrid and hydrogen vehicles, and walking and cycling.

The move comes amid increasing concerns about the impact of diesel engines on the health of people living in cities.
 
I don't understand why tax is cheap on diesel cars? You can buy a bmw 118d on which you'd pay £30 a year for tax. If they are such horrible pollutants why is it that the road tax is incredibly cheap on a lot of diesel cars especially vs the petrol equivalent.
 
Don't do Cities, keep to the open road and no shops!

£20 on the 118d Sport. But that's changing on new cars from next April Road tax starting from over £100 but that's on cars 2017 registered cars not pre 2017 so still £20 for me. It does seem a bit daft i pay £240 for the Z which does around 3000 miles per year yet £20 on the 118 doing 10000 miles a year

Did think of that Tony.im currently on about 258.bhp .its got the same 0-60 (6.1) as the zed.but tbh it feels quicker than the zed. Be interesting to find the quoted figuers for 30-50 etc mph figures
But i may call you int new year so it would be quicker than Billz zed.(on paper) ha ha ha
 
:racecar::racecar:Would certainly be quicker off the mark it's the extra torque that does the trick my mate says his 535d is quicker 0 to100 than is m5 would be running 300 ponies mapped not sure on torque his is running around 360bhp
