I'll make no comment on BMW's involvement in 75 development...

Under BMW, Rover's dealership base was drastically cut. There was very little in the way of new models coming out (The 400, 200 and MGF were already substantially developed when BMW purchased Rover. Only the Rover 75 was developed and launched under BMW, in a period of five years.) With this in mind, is it surprising that there was a sales decline – induced by BMW's management?

so whats performance like on the diesel then

Off the mark its no sprinter... but on the move it fair moves.... it pulls well upto 120mph no problem. It has 131bhp as standard but a £159 RoverRon box can give it upto 170bhp with switchable settings for power and throttle sensitivity.

I can't imagine what it'd be like with 170bhp as on the move it has a fair turn of pace - but I will soon find out.
