well you can thank T bobbe pickens for the price of diesel. A man who made millions on big oil..the bmw diesel motor will last longer than a prius will so your $4 a gallon will be justified in the end.. and dont give me some mess about leasing a car if u do that your a idiot!

I drive a 2007 BMW 335i with 29000km on the odo. I am currently getting over 1000km range on the 63 litre tank far better than the 330i model with average speeds of 110km/h on a long stretch and average 10.6 litres /100km in town driving. This is acheived by using the cruise control on long stretches and not using hard takeoffs.

The 520d has a 46 mpg (US) rating. A 320d has a 49 mpg rating. A 318d has a 52 mpg rating.
The four-cylinder diesels are really fantastic engines.

Is anyone really going to care for a diesel car when we are now seeing diesel for $4/gallon??? Diesel where I lives is now $.50 MORE than a gallon of 93 octane…the new BMW diesels better get 45mpg or better to justify the $4/gallon

I know BMW’s get fantastic gas mileage. Anyone that has ever told me that they didn’t I always pointed to my readout on my 05 330i ZSP. I got a little over 500 miles to a tank twice on trips down to FL. And I averaged between 460-480 miles when driving with a healthy dose of city and highway driving… The BMW I6 is a great gas mileage engine, probably the best in the world.
