And BMW has been making diesels for generations. Considering how fiddly their electronics can be, let's just say I don't want to be the beta tester for a 1st generation hybrid system from BMW.
I care about performance as well, owned and loved the E39. Realistically though, in Los Angeles, there's a moratorium on speed, city's broke, more tickets,more speed traps, more redlight cameras. Not to mention the traffic; half the time you're just sitting there, like it's your couch. I want better fuel efficiency, but driving a Prius is too goofy for my taste. Diesel is the answer.
