Report: BMW considering new BMW 3 Series diesel for the U.S.

According to InsideLine, BMW is considering bringing a diesel engine in the U.South. with the introduction of the new BMW 3 Series. BMW'south head of sales and marketing, Ian Robertson, says "the diesel infrastructure is progressing well in the U.S.," and customer are learning near the positive aspects of the diesel technology.

Robertson as well points out that the X5 diesel sales are doing well in the US and it accounts for a third, and sometimes fifty-fifty half the sales of the X5. With the pressuring emission standards coming out in 2015, Robertson says that diesel applied science could play a critical role for the visitor.

The lath fellow member omits to mention which three Series diesel fuel model will make its way to the U.S., but we are inclined to believe that the company will keep to offer the 335d model.

BMW has been out of the American diesel market place for around xx years now and they marked their return in 2008 with the twin-sequential-turbocharged three.0 liter diesel engine for the E90 335d. BMW'south beginning fifty-state-legal diesel delivers 265 hp at 4220 rpm, and an impressive 425 lb-ft of torque between 1750 and 2250 rpm. Driving through a six-speed automatic transmission, this engine will propel the outgoing generation 335d from 0 to sixty mph in vi.0 sec while delivering 23 mpg urban center and 36 mpg on the highway.

With the new technology institute in the F30 3 Series, nosotros anticipate an fifty-fifty more fuel efficient 335d.

While we entertain the thought of a half dozen-cylinder diesel being sold again in N America, our hearts go to the 4-cylinder ii.0 liter turbocharged engine that could deliver operation close to the six-banger, with increased fuel efficiency.

More on the diesel strategy for North America in the nearly future.
