it has almost 300 lbs of torque!!. Tune it a bit make it produce 220-250hp with 400lbs of torque and I am a very happy person
Add a turbo and AWD and I would buy it right now!

Like he said "THE gentleman's car".

I wonder how difficult it would be to import one?

you guys are crazy wanting the 220d!

I gladly paid 20k more to get a 250 here instead.

theres probably 30 is220d for every 250 here.

220d owners has reported several problems with the injectors, horrible gearing / ratio and gear-box, and let me tell you , its quite slower than the 250 stock...

at OAKLEY : what the hell are you talking about??? i own a 220 and have not one problem with the car!!from what i've heard there are problems in england because of poor quality diesel.anyway,my boss drives a 250 and yes from 0-60 he's faster but let's talk 30-100 and that's a whole other story.....and I have space left for chiptuning.....!and just look a resail value.is250 is after 2 years less worth than the diesel and keeps ongoing year after year.
