BMW Sticking with Diesels in the United States
BMW Staying with Diesels in the U.S.

Superb engines in those Beemers, so much power and torque, and efficiency is excellent too. A good all round package.

I had a BMW 328 (petrol/gas) for 18 years, and the engine never had any issues. L6 was bullet-proof.
Just a data point on Mercedes and diesels... I wrote to MB in late 2016 asking if the GLC SUV would be available in Canada with a diesel. They said yes, but arrival is slowing down due to emissions tests. In early January 2017, MB wrote to inform me that the GLC SUV will not be available with diesel in Canada because it didn't pass the emissions tests. MB is trying to get their diesels into North America. Whether they succeed or not is a different story. I've heard nothing to suggest BMW is having challenges certifying their oilers. I'm really glad I got my 2015 Audi Q5 3.0 diesel when Audi diesels were still available in Canada, when Audi made gorgeous cars, and when the Q5 presented a compelling value proposition compared to Mercedes' and BMW's offerings. Today, Audi offers nothing I'd want, and it does not compete nearly as well since their ~10% price jump with their 2017 Q5. |

You better start saving now, or apply for BMW finance ;)

Looks like the rest of the diesel lineup will stay.

Nice car with a powerful engine and efficient too.

The reason for all vehicles need to be diesel is not just because they get so much better in mileage and in this way they pollute less, but because only diesels can run on renewable bio-fuels.
