It's apparent that the lower compression "F" engine was developed for the North American market. I can see why you all need turbos now - to get the BHP. The European 230E (which I have) is quite powerful without the turbo as the BHP figures indicate. BTW most European spec 740's don't have air-con, so no heater valve to blow (or the rest of it). But then, here in England on the odd warm day you just open a window......
Thanks for your information.
