So I went to the dealer today to help out my friend because he needed a drive back becuase he had to drop off his car. On the lot I see a 335d and I asked the technician "do you have the 335d" And he said "yea we carry them now"
That surprised my. I didn't know that they had diesels in the US now. Did anyone else know this?
Thank you

I guess BMW is now doing the same. I would like to test drive the 335d as I have never driven a BMW diesel.

Thinking about it, I suspect the diesel will do well in the states. Imagine driving on those long motorways at 50mph. You guys will get a real decent fuel economy figure.
