When you come to the realization that there is a Fox Body with a BMW turbo diesel...from the factory

The Mark VII got that engine too. If there was one local I'd be sorely tempted.

You want closer than Chicago? You live in Illinois!

Wiki says that the diesel is based off of the M20 engine. What else bolts up to that bellhousing pattern?

Weird, rare, slow, and ugly. I'm really surprised this isn't on the cover of GRM and the new "in" thing to covet.

Oh the weirdness of the 80s.

Since it's already a turbo diesel, can't you just turn up the boost? Or at least add a pair of stacks & roll-coal???

I limit my local car searches to under a 50 mile radius... most of the time. :)

Add a big Monster decal on the hood and don a flat brimmed hat and you're golden!
