Before you buy the diesel I would make sure I know what I'm getting into. Glow plugs, lots of additives, Auto Zone sells diesel additives by the pallet t load. Fuel gelling, longer warms up with the engine shaking, cold weather is a problem for a lot of diesels.
Water separators, that's a whole different ballgame all by itself.
How about warming up a diesel in your attached garage, get ready for a smoke out. One guy wrote in he always has soot on the front of his x7 after blowing snow or mowing grass.
Diesel is always higher priced then gas, and don't forget the storage of diesel fuel, and how far do you have to go to get it.
There are a lot of things you need to know with a diesel, so if you want one study up on it.
Ever wonder why a city bus has the exhaust pipe up by the roof, you should be around one when they first fire it up and give it the old clean out, aw never mind.
