Any news on the USA F30 diesels?
I just got back from Germany last night after a two week vacation. Let me say, the Autobahn is awesome and Germany has excellent drivers! While there we stopped by the BMW museum and showroom and they had the new 330d on the showroom floor. I'm hoping this comes to the states. We rented an Audi TDI while there and got great MPG. I'm really hoping the 330d or even the 320d model comes to the states to replace by wife's IS250...

No official news yet; Audi is bringing TDI to nearly their entire US lineup over the next couple of years though. If there's no replacement for the 335d when it comes time to upgrade, I may be looking at an A6 TDI.
With Audi, Chevrolet, and Jeep offering new diesel choices for the USA this would be an odd time for BMW to get out of that market.

I test drove both the 320d and 328i before making my final decision. We have both models in Oz. The diesel is hugely impressive with its low rpm torque and fanatastic low fuel consumption. It almost matches the 328i in most normal driving. I settled on the 328 as it was slightly smoother and less rattly near idle and the performance is just that bit better.

Plust the N20 already gets awesome milage, whats going to make anyone here pick a diesel for more money. Its also more expensive on the repairs. But Im still hoping for one.
