Does anyone know what happens if you use normal diesel for euro 5 diesel vehicle? If I am not mistaken few years back, BMW modified the engine slightly so that the cars can accept our low grade fuel. I am interested in the sorento hs, but cannot see how to use it in east coast Malaysia. Also do owners of Euro 5 diesel have anxiety when finding petrol stations to top up? Or there are abundance of euro 5 in your location.

The only modification they did was just to remove the DPF filter. No difference otherwise from the engine for BMW.

Which resulted in their cars generating more wheel horsepower than advertised

Nopes, lesser due to the longitudinal engine layout. For example, on paper it is rated 184hp for the N47 diesel engine. On a zero load dynojet dyno, it pulls around 170-173ps only. For the B47 engine, on paper it is rated at 190hp and on the same dyno, it gets around 176ps-177ps.

Ah , apparently the quoted is on crank. 173 back calculated apparently is more than 184 on crank

Can't back calculate like that as well, note that this is on a zero load dynojet. On Dynodynamics, the figure is much lower.
