I believe your MPG guess will be close. We will likely not see any other engine variant for the introductory 1er model.

However, with Toyota, VW, DaimlerChysler, and Honda all positioning themselves with an on slot of diesels models entering our US market within the next couple of years to compete against the hybrids, I see BMW following suit. It would be nice to get a 1er coup diesel that gets in the 40+++ mpg range. I drive the heck out of my cars, about 30,000 miles a year. This would be the perfect world for me, BMW quality with exceptional mpg. Diesels have come a long ways.
