"BMW also is contemplating whether to offer a new common-rail 4.0-liter V8 turbodiesel in the States at some point. For American buyers, a six-speed Steptronic will be the only transmission choice."
I heard the 3.0d was to arrive before the 4.0 V8 turbodiesel.
In regards to the camouflage, they're making the mules look as ugly as possible. They gotta save something for when the wraps finally do come off.

A new '4.0' will probably be a variation of whatever the M3 is getting.
