All European Diesel cars have particle filters installed for

Why would someone even think that a BMW is a good car for towing?
The first gear is too long and all gas engines do not have enough torque
at low rpm's.


Best for towing are Common Rail Turbo Diesel cars.


We currently can't get diesel cars in several parts of the US, as the
current models don't meet the more stringent emissions regulations in
California and other highly populated areas. This will change in a year
or two, but meanwhile, we have to make do with gas engines...

In US the problem are not cars but dirty diesel fuel. That is why
diesel cars are not allowed in many parts of the country. It is our
big oil companies fault.
