BMW bringing diesels to the US...

Do you think they'll do the same for the 1er? A 135d might be interesting.

By the way... sorry if this is the wrong forum. I didn't think it was off-topic, but I know it's not 1er-specific, so I understand if it's moved.

Darnit--I knew the biggest, baddest diesel would be the one BMW would slot in for us. I really would rather see the TT 4-banger for the adequate torque and better efficiency.

I can't blame them, though--the perception of diesels in the US is slowly changing, among my peers at least, but still remains fairly negative.
