Outstanding!
But I'm not sure why the "30d" and ""35/40d" engines are grouped together. The former uses one turbo and the latter uses two.

That must be the euro version of the Wards list. Interesting, but we don't see many of those here -- more's the pity for that! Wards had the new BMW gas turbo 4 banger as one of their top choices.
