Having owned a Diesel vehicle for the past 13 years and operated diesel engines at work for longer than that, Ive seen things come and go, and change. Ive modified many of them, and have seen the effects of the emissions. Ive seen 300,000 dollar machines lock up engines due to the DEF system failures. Machine down time due to faulty DEF equipment, not to mention the waste from Producing, transporting, and using the DEF itself. Its 6 one way, half dozen the other. You burn more fuel, sometimes twice as much, to clean slightly cleaner air. Meanwhile Fossil fuels are limited, and without the emissions, you can run 100% Bio-Diesel. Which is cleaner yet... It all depends on which side of the fence you wanna stand on. Both are equally bad, personally Ill stand the side that will give me less of a headache. LOL

You did well on the post. I have half a notion to just take the X5 down to Raleigh and having them do everything and be done with it. Its only about 10 hours.
