    Default Nikasil Alusil or Cast Iron??

    The 525 TDs Diesels from '93 ish, what sort of bores/crankcases do these have?
    Ive read quite a few odd posts about this Nikosil issue and wondering whether to get a BMW diesel after all...........

    (dont fancy an engine without liners/running on coated ally with cast iron/chromium rings--Just doesnt sound a good reliable idea to me, Built in obsolecence/End-Of-Life ??.........)
