 You're sure about the 265-hp? Doubt that, cause in Europe the X35d (called 3.0sd back here) got 286-hp and a torque of about 580nm. Would be strange if they gonna reduce power for the N.A. market... Concerning Diesel prices I might give you an idea of where the journey goes to: filled up today and diesel is € 1,45 per litre, that makes it US-$ 2,28 per litre or US-$ 8,63 per gallon...   Within 6 months, prices of Diesel and Premium became equal, whereas before it was about 25% difference in favor for Diesel engines...

The 286 hp diesel would therefore end up being about 280 hp in North America, if it was emissions-legal. It isn't. The new urea-injected diesel has been announced at 265 hp due to new engine mapping to meet stricter NA emissions laws. The torque doesn't seem to suffer as much as the hp does. The worst part will be that this will effectively be a new engine (from a software standpoint, more than from an iron standpoint) so first year production stands to have the usual BMW introductory bugs when the diesels are introduced here. Add to that that no NA BMW dealership likely has technicians trained in diesel engine repairs, and it should be interesting.

 Great and very interesting answers. Never heard of ready-to-come "urea plans" back here. Regards - X5_Newbie

Not that unusal when you factor in the U.S. emissions. Quite often the U.S. versions of engine have lower rated HP. I don't know if it is still the case, but in years past I've noticed similar differences in U.S. vs. European engines.

I'm kinda glad that there won't be another iS...leaving some performance exclusivity to the E53. Still may not translate to better resale...
...I just may keep her in the family now.
