I really hope they resist temptation to rebadge the car for our market. After all, they didn't have a problem introducing the 320i here. Please no more badge confusion, BMW.

In any case it will be disappointing if this rumored 328d we've been hearing about does not turn out to be a further development of the N47 TT. A 240hp I4 diesel would be amazing. It will also be disappointing if we do not get the N47 TT in any form in NA. I really think that engine is the sweet spot in BMW's diesel lineup. I would be highly interested in a diesel F31 that can match the performance of the 328i. A 330d or even 335d would be welcome too, for that matter, but there does not seem to be plans to bring those here either.
