The article incorrectly states the 330d and X5 xDrive35d are sold in the United States. The 330d is not sold here, but a 335d is.
My hopes are on a 535d and maybe a 123d???
I think the 335d was introduced first for two reasons:
1. Three series is the best selling "series" in the U.S.
2. 335d defies comparisons to either VW (smaller) or Mercedes (bigger) diesel sedans.
Going forward a 535d would be compared to the Mercedes diesel E class (no biggie), but...the 123d would be compared to the diesels from VW and almost certainly get hammered on the price and interior room. Not sure if BMW will go there. It would help their CAFE though...
Cheers!
