I suppose if I lived in an area, where diesel isn't sold, I would not buy one either. But it's my observation, after two cross-country trips, that the majority of newer gas stations offer diesel. In fact, Costco (a Washington-based company, I believe) is including diesel in most of their newer stores. As for reliability, the talk of class action against BMW (on this very forum) for the 2.0 liter "i" engines is not exactly a resounding endorsement that all is perfect with their gas engines. I've owned many more gas-engine vehicles, but for those that drive a lot or long distances, diesels can be an ideal choice.
