Good advice. I read recently that the "take rate" for US VW diesels is 73%. Why BMW prospective owners are so biased against diesels is a shame, but it will make for some good deals. I am very happy with my 328d. I think the take rate for BMW 5 and 7 series diesels is over 90% in Europe. I remember several years ago while driving around Europe in a tiny econo-box rental I parked next to a new BMW 7 series that seemed ginormous by comparison. I was amazed when I walked by the back end and saw the model number on the trunk: 720d.
