I recently found out about the D4 2.7 whilst on autotrader ha and wondered if there were any reports of it suffering from the sudden engine failures? I remember an LR time video where Christian said that the D4 had been design to reduce vibration but they also made the engine far more powerful in the 3.0s so is the 2.7 the best of both worlds - less power and less vibrations?
