    I believe that engine was originally designed for the older preceding E34 5 series and was made available for the E39 in the first 1 or 2 years of its life and eventually uprated.

    And? Your original statement wasn't qualified in any way, hence it was incorrect.

    Anyway, I'm going to stop derailing this thread now, I have transfer case oil to change.

    So what he said was correct then.

    Yes, and that was the M51 engine, not the M47!

    My original statement was correct and stands true- even the entry level diesel for the E39 was a 6 pot 2.5 litre engine.
