http://www.autobytel.com/bmw/328d/2014/ The BMW 328d with xDrive is the most fuel efficient AWD vehicle sold in America. This car is part wagon, part 5-door, and part touring model. It's the perfect alternative to a gas guzzling SUV and yes it runs on Diesel.

The 328d sedan is available in either RWD or AWD but this Sport Wagon is only available with xDrive AWD. The engine under the hood is a 2.0 liter twin-power 4-cylinder engine makes 180 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. of torque. The Efficient Dynamics catch phrase is right on target as the 328d Sport Wagon nets 31 MPG in the city and 43 MPG on the highway. The sedan model is good for a few more MPG's. There are 4 drive modes: Comfort, Sport, Sport+, and ECO Pro. The transmission is an 8-Speed automatic.

The Ride and Handling are top-notch. The 2014 BMW 328d is ultra-confident and packed with technology. So should you get the gas or diesel model 3-Series? While the gas model is faster from 0-60 MPH by about a second and the price is cheaper by $1500, the Diesel model is rated at 10 MPG more than the regular gas 328.
