I was hot for one till I learned they are expecting to charge that much. If they want Diesel to catch on again in the US they better price them closer to entry level.

Accoring to bmw website on the 0-60 the diesel is about a 1 sec faster than the 3.0 gas engine and only .4 seconds slower than the 4.8. Thats not to bad when you consider the $8K price diff between the 3.0 and the 4.8. For people looking for the performance of a 4.8 might as well go with the new diesel no?
