Christ that sounds like the most German engine ever. There is a BMW engineer with a cutaway of this engine hung on his wall with the caption "Perfection" or some bullshit.

*sniff* It's beautiful! Perfect, even. Anyway, I'd love to see more and more aero diesels start powering the GA fleet. Avgas is dead and anyone seriously thinking of dropping 25-30k on a shiny new big bore flat six without looking at some kind of re-engine program is being incredibly short-sighted.
