It's about time! I wonder what engines they will offer and at what price.
Hopefully we'll get the 4.5 liter V8 from 745d.

I dont understand what the big deal is about the diesel engines. I dont know to much about BMW diesel engines, is it because of the fuel economy, are do they perform better than there gasoline engine equals?
