BMW’s North American Diesel Parade Continues On, With Fewer Cylinders

The 335d may not have done so well in the United States, but BMW seems undettered, and is set to launch yet another oil-burning 3er shortly. Rumors of another diesel 3-Series began in the bowels of the internet rumor-mill, but ended up being confirmed by BMW. Sort of.  AutoGuide.com initially reported the "news" based on a tweet (!) from Automobile's Jason Cammisa, but a BMW spokesman ended up verifying the factoid, telling them "…the next BMW Advanced Diesel engine that will come to the US is the 2.0-liter  4-cylinder turbo-diesel. Specific timing and model applications will follow." If the new engine doesn't appear in a 320d, I'll go out and buy a Jetta SportWagen TDI. Or a 320i. from The Truth About Cars http://www.thetruthaboutcars.com
