BMW NA said the diesels would be out for model year 2009. Well, technically it's already MY 2009 and no one has the ordering bulletin nor pricing for the US. (It is out for Canada though). First it was supposed to be November delivery, now some folks are rumoring January. I think Corporate is holding out on us, not bothering to sell the diesels at all. But BMW NA does that all the time anyways.
I hope your overall consumption is better than 16l/100km though. That's terrific for 240 km/h, but at lesser speeds I hope its more along the lines of perhaps 8 liters? BMW quotes 8,2 l combined.
Wir werden nur den xDrive35d bekommen, und nicht mit 286PS, sondern 265PS.
