Best feature of OM651 Diesel
I havent seen it yet but the best improvement to me is the implementation of the low pressure EGR system on the new Om651 turbo diesel I-4.

In the old OM642 - EGR taps from the exhaust manifold and directs it to the intake manifold. The new Om651 takes lower pressure exhaust after the DPF instead. I would imagine because the air is free from soot and also cooler. Hopefully this will reduce any carbon buildup in the intake manifold.
