Hi jamesco,
I was wondering the same thing before i ordered a 328i GT in January.
So i asked the manager at my dealership, he contacted BMW Canada.
And I contacted BMW North America directly.
Both said not this year and no plans for next year.
I didn't want to get a gas if a diesel was going to come out right after.
Unfortunately it's not for us yet.
My reasoning on this is that because of tough regulations on diesel emissions in North America they need a urea system to reduce nitrous oxide emissions. So they need to make sure they will sell enough to redesign every model to have a urea tank and system.
The most popular models get it first, a new model like the GT needs to prove it can sell before spending on a urea system.
Well, that's my thinking on it. Wish i could get the diesel, i'm going from a TDI Jetta to a gas BMW for a bit of sportiness.
Welcome to the forum
