I'm ready for a 535d w/6-speed manual. I expect to drive in 2nd or 3rd all the time in Boston traffic, while getting 40mpg!

It's not going to be easy to convince Americans that diesels are performance cars, and the likely customers at first will be more sedate drivers.
As for convincing people that diesels are performance cars, I agree, they don't really have that image. However thats changing pretty quickly over here with cars like the 535d and 335d (incl. coupes & cabrios). Furthermore, with the likes of Audi and Peugeot running diesels in the high-profile Le Mans 24hr race shows that the car manufacturers are working hard to change the image...
