what are the reactions, was this so underpowered or what?
How many HP, 177 ?
Anyway, you can always remap it and reach the 200 HP threshold

My Ride: 535d Sport, carbon black, media pack, visibility pack, grey leather, heated seats, sun protection glass, voice control, Eibach ProKit, 19" 166 style wheels, e-maps ECU remap to 325hp and 640NM, top speed limiter removed
The 725tds was available in the E38 7series only (lhd) from 1996 to 1998 and was the first 7 series diesel. Unfortunately it weren't strong and economical enough.
Was replaced in 1998 with the 730d, sporting the new 3.0 d common rail diesel, which made it a lot better. 1999 saw the addition of a V8 diesel called 740d.
The current 7 series line up sports the 730d and the 745d (740d before facelift)

LHD only, sold in several European countries.
The UK market (and diesel prices) don't seem to be enough to re-engineer a rhd version of the V8 diesel, as it's not bad, but still no economy wonder.
Mighty punch, though, as the standard version already gives 750Nm of torque (at only 330hp, though). Now think about a remap

If I recall correctly, some of these apparently smaller engines were designed for home-market use only as taxis (city taxis, I guess). Similar efforts would have been the early Mercedes 190D, 200D, E200cdi, C200cdi, etc.
