I kinda doubt they will bring one on the E60 , mainly due to BMW NA having to give $4500 just to get the E90 and X5s off the lots.

Until the "Eco" credit ( lets be honest it's Trunk Money) came out the dealers were having very hard time moving them...
Now most dealers can't get or only got 1 ( total of 289 2010 x5 with Diesels for the first allotment in US) for this coming model year as to not get stuck with them.

I know people in the NE will say they sold well, but every place else the did not, reason being , cost more than the Gas motor by a couple grand, BMW was giving crappy finance rates ( and still is) , and Diesel fuel for the most part right now is more expensive than gas.

All that along with the econ slow down = slow sales....= $4500 advertised cash back on a new BMW till the end of today.

I agree. The 335d was not moving until BMW slapped a $4500 "eco" credit on it. Rebates of that size make cars unprofitable. BMW messed up the marketing of diesels in the 2009 model years. Why they did not emphasize the blazing performance of the 335d is beyond me.
