Especially since Diesel is being sold for more than Premium? Isn't the point of a diesel to give you more MPG and actually save the consumer money on the cost of gas in the long run? - J As a BMW owner I can say yes I do care what gas costs.

They'd be much better suited to bring over the 323d, 320d, 123d the 118d, and some of their other magnificent diesels in response to the current increase in vehicle cost as well as fuel costs. Maybe the US will finally be the beneficiary of the full line of BMWs. They are poised like no other luxury manufacturer to take advantage of the current market conditions. Maybe then I'll be able to procure my beloved Alpina D3!
