[QUOTE="rpmnut, post: 538527, member: 20757"] Every manufacturer prepares their cars differently for different markets. The diesel models in Malaysia have modifications made to them at the factory before they are sold here. Primarily, the cars lack the Diesel Particulate Filter and have the Filter Regeneration Cycle on the engine ECU disabled. The tuning of the engine is also often modified, with less aggressive fuel map/boost pressure to take into account the lower quality of diesel here. The difference between Euro II and Euro V diesel is quite significant. Running a Euro V/IV engine on Euro II fuel is simply asking for trouble. However, you can still bring in your X6 3.0d as long as you budget some $$ to "localize" your X6 at the official dealers or BMW specialists. This will involve the removal of the DPF filter (which then necessitates a change of your exhaust manifold and pipes) and the reprogramming of the engine ECU to calibrate it for local diesel.
