BMW 524
The BMW 524 entered production in late 1982, when 100 pre-series cars were built. It was manufactured with two engine types: diesel and turbocharged diesel. The 524td was only imported with an automatic transmission. Leather upholstery and an on-board trip computer were optional on the 528e and 524td. The BMW 524td was fastest and most silent diesel car at the time. Its top speed of 164 km/h (102 mph) and 0 100 km/h time of 18.1 seconds perhaps did not live up to BMW's sporting pretensions and it was only available in a few select markets.
