Obviously an unrelated VW, Audi, Seat or Skoda question. Someone on here will surely have some clue.

Ive always personally preferred the 330D BMW's but is it really true that the M47 320D engine is Polish built? Ive heard this a few times and im sure several of you all know the common 320D faults. Turbos going, over-heating, pipes cracking, heads goin etc. Id NEVER buy a 320D im just curious.

It seems insane to think a company with BMW's reputation would have engines produced in Poland, of all bloody places!!! When I buy a VW, Audi, BMW or Merc I expect it to be German, and although this is not always the case it's still what I would expect.
