320d would about 52 mpg US, with x-drive prob 49. Put it together for a package starting at 40K- I think they may have a market.

If its between a 4-cyl turbo or 4-cyl diesel; I'd rather get the six...but that being said, I'd rather have the diesel. If its all about fuel savings, and you have to be buy a %$*^ing 4-cyl engine, why wouldn't you buy a diesel, which will give you 15 more mpg- with about the same performance? You need premium fuel anyway for the turbo. Diesel is on par with premium around here. The only issue is cost- can BMW make it in the range of the 4-cyl or will it be as expensive as the 6 cyl. In that case, I'll take the 6.
