The diesel from the 335d should be the perfect size for a 7.

a diesel 7 would be genius for our shores, i miss the big oil burning mercedes S-classes from the 90′s.

great move! BMW should offer the I6 TTD and a V8 TD

BMW, let us have full line up, please! I’d like to have a 535d Touring with ///M-Sport package. But it’s only available with ONLY one engine, good one, but not diesel. And I’ve read wonderful things about 123d. Also bring over hatchback versions of 1-Series.

I think it’s a great idea. The people actually driving one of these instead of being driven want to see us about as much as we want to see them.

Sounds good to me. Only downside is that diesel is more than a dollar more than gasoline here in New England. So that would somewhat erode the benefits of higher mileage because your still paying more dollars per mile than most gas engines. On the good side, it polutes less and is more reliable than a gas engine. Not to mention it helps with those stupid CAFE numbers.

So long as it isn’t the same size as the one in the X5 and 3er, it should be fine.
