150 Bhp, I believe.
Popular wisdom says at this output it lasts forever, but it doesn't like being moddeded.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

The engine can't handle any more bhp without fairly major work. Turbos, cooling system, head gasket, fuelling are all weak points.

It was designed to give a nice shove of torque and be flexible, quiet and reliable which it does well by all acounts - if you leave it alone :|

You can get another 10bhp or so from a healthy motor, but beyond that it starts to cost serious sponduliks and makes a used hand grenade look reliable.

It's pointless, as the 2.2 petrol is already 10bhp meatier, lighter, rock solid reliable, more economical and has much longer service intervals.
