[Vwdiesel] A Diesel Beemer?

[Kenneth E. Oldrid]

I believe BMW released the 524 turbo diesel from 85-86 in the US. It is an
inline six cylinder. I have also seen a few lincolns ( mark VII and
continentals) of the same year on ebay with the same engine. The 524's
occasionally sell for around $3000. Once I saw an ad for an 86 524TD for $900
obo!
