335d was a mistake, as the sales figures confirm. 530d would make sense, as would 320d, especially if BMW is interested in lowering its fleet fuel consumption averages. You won't see a 1-series diesel because BMWNA can't wrap its little mind around the idea of a 2-door diesel, much less a convertible, and they're equally closed to the idea of a 1-series with 4 doors. Don't count on them to make a sensible decision on diesels for the US — they haven't yet.
