Those older BMW Diesel engines are often reported to be great.

At least since the '70s the sale of Diesel-powered cars is banned in Brazil, even though some (mostly station-wagons and light-duty cargo vehicles) conversions were tollerated and could be legally registered until '93 and are grandfathered. The engine which was fitted into my uncle's Vitara was most likely taken out of a VW Transporter Panel Van.
