That's one reason US do not have diesels, the other reasons are ... and ...
The new improved 530i -engine (275 hp) as the new 535i (306 hp) meets the US emission standards.
Also the US market will get the 528i, which is a 3 litre version of our 525i (as in the E92).
We europeans will get the new, little stronger than before, 520d, 525d, 530d and 535dA with the new gearbox etc.
Available, at least as left wheel drives, in April.

Look, I've told you before my 580d (quad-turbo V10) is sitting in my garage waiting for official release... Man, just wait until DMS get a hold of this baby...

My Ride: 2004 BMW 330i, Jet Black, Black Leather, Performance Pkg, 6 speed manual transmission
On-Order: 2007 BMW 530i, Titanium Gray, Black Leather, Sport, Premium, Cold Weather, 6 speed manual transmission, Nav, HUD, PDC, L7, Sirius, Rear Heated Seats
For US deliveries, the last of the 07 530i are being built this week and early next week. I requested a delivery in March but my CA just said all his builds got moved to December. Looks like BMWNA wants a few months to clear out all the 07s before the 528i and 535i hit the shores.

My dealer always seems to receive a very high-spec (read almost all options) model fairly early. They've had (I think it's sold now) a ?45k 335d coupe for quite a while now...
