Don't count on them to make a sensible decision on diesels for the US — they haven't yet.
Do you have an official information to confirm it?
If so what about X5 35d? how are the sales and expectations there? I've heard that they have a great success there.

BMW should rush with diesel version otherwise other German automakers will bring diesel engines for cars like Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Audi A6.
