Maybe if people had gotten as excited then about the efficiency and performance combo as they are now then BMW would have considered bringing over more, fully modern, diesels in the F30.
Maybe if diesel wasn't $4.39 at my local station, it would make sense.

This isn't europe, where diesel is cheaper than petrol.

Umm, you are completely biased by owning a 335d.

The 2011 335d mrsp is $10,000 more than 2012 328i msrp. You can get into a 328i much cheaper.

$44,150 to $34,900 - most people buying 328i's will not be loading it with options.
