Thanks for the respone, One option was too do a 24 month lease on an 3.0 and switch over and finance the diesel when it becomes available if it's what I have my heart set on. If it was a perfect world we might even get an individual selection on something other than a 7 series some time in the distant future for the US. Closer to Christmas will be my purchase / order date since the effecient dynamics (increase mpg) is something I want along with the rear seat shades, and power tailgate. I'm not sure if the adaptive cruise control with stop & go will be added to the option list but it is in my wish list as well! For such an awesome SAV I really am needy
