We don't have any eco credits, tax incentives, financing or lease breaks on diesel models. We do have higher fuel prices. X5 was reported to be running at 40% diesels last April, the last month that BMWCA broke out diesel sales in their monthly sales press releases.

I understand that the 335d has had disappointing sales results here. I think if they had brought in a more efficient (smaller) diesel they would have done better, but then they would have been competing with VW.
