[V8] 6.5 litre diesel?

[too many quattros]

i too have watched the 6.5 liter yukons and suburbans.  since i spend a lot
of time out of country, in countries where 4x4 is needed and diesel is
considerably cheaper than gas, a 4x4 diesel is the only choice.  frankly, i
cant believe how much money these rigs were going for.  ultimately, i have
decided to convert my wrangler to likely a 2.8 liter VM motori crd before
spending crazy amounts of money on a gm 4x4 (which are getting hard to find
in nice shape).  i actually nearly bought a cummins BT but decided against
it because they are so heavy.  now if only i could buy an s or rs diesel.
oh wait, i can, from BMW. its called the 335d.  now just give it to me in a
coupe!
