I've never owned one, but I've heard they make a very good marine diesel. Their smaller engines (up to 50 hp) are based on the reliable Hatz diesel. The larger ones are a tunnel bore design, and somewhat more complicated.

From what I understand, most (all?) parts are still available through Mercury Marine, who bought out the BMW's marine division and continue to sell an updated version of the BMW diesels.
