Can't tell you about the '98 model, but the '05 320d is listed here:

http://www.parkers.co.uk/choosing/sp...&model_id=1345

Specs are:

Weight: 1360 kg
Power: 160 bhp
Top speed: 140 mph
0-60: 8.0 s

By the way, Bluetec is not the only way to bring diesel NOx back down to gasoline equivalent levels, a much cheaper way is with this type of catalyst:

This system does not require major engine modifications or additional fluids, and can easily meet US Tier 2 Bin 5 specifications.
