But now we get to join the club: BMW has confirmed it will offer a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbodiesel engine in the U.S. Speaking with Motor Authority via email, BMW corporate communications rep (and former diesel launch strategy manager for BMW North America) Dave Buchko confirmed the new diesel four-cylinder. "[T]he next BMW Advanced Diesel engine for the US will be the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder turbo," Buchko wrote, though he added, "We...

Omega Tool Corp produced a video showcasing what it capable of when it comes to complex molded plastics for cars. Interestingly, it used what...
