I'm currently waiting for the 530d GT. Nearly the torque of the v-8, but close to the power of the i-6. 42mpg on the highway, and high 20's in the city. At the NYC autoshow, they said it would be coming next calendar year. I'd rather not wait, but I think it will be worth it. I'm assuming they will import the 530d, but if they opt for the 535d, it has essentially the same power as the 535i, and the torque of the 550i. There is a much bigger price hit on the 535d verses the 530d (in Europe - but, the diesel is actually cheaper there, which is not the case in the USA).
