Clean, unadulterated performance from diesel technology
#10. BMW’s 335d is 50-state emissions compliant…thanks, in part, to
urea.
Despite tremendous advances in technology, a stigma lingers over the
term “diesel.” Truth be told, today’s diesels are cleaner than they’ve
ever been, so much in fact that they meet the same air-quality
standards set for gasoline-powered vehicles. Because of that, they can
now be sold in all 50 U.S. states. In the case of the 2010 BMW 335d,
the turbocharged diesel engine’s exhaust is treated with a urea-based
AdBlue solution that neutralizes noxious gases. Pair that with the
government-mandated use of ultra low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel, and you
have a modern diesel without the foul, smoky tailpipe emissions
associated with models of the past.
