Sequential diesel turbos aren't BMW exclusive anymore

No, Swedish car manufacturer SAAB have (stolen) made their own sequential turbo 2.0 diesel engine.

I wonder where they got that idea... and I suspect that other manufacturers will follow.

They never were. Thats been around for a while. Even ford or GM one has a sequential turbo setup on their truck diesel.

Mercedes announced details of theirs back in April, the C250 CDI going on sale before the end of the year will be their first.
