For sure a diesel car makes much more sense in Europe than in US since the fuel prices here are more than double, but if I look in the BMW's range of models I can't find so many advantages of a diesel sold (or that will be sold) in US than its petrol brother:
35i with 300hp vs 35d with only 265hp;
28i with 240hp vs future 28d which is based on the 20d model in Europe (~ 200hp);
We can take into account the driving pleasure of an MT car (petrol vs diesel), and the examples can continue!
