Great Job BMW.Its too bad that in America we have to have the twin turbo six diesel because we must be able to go zero to sixty in one or two seconds !!!!!
I'm here in France where the speed limit on highways is 75mph.I can't tell you how mant times a small deisel or gas engine peugot,renault or bmw goes by me at 85 or 90 with its tiny engine.If they can live with small engines so can we.WAKE UP AMERICA AND LIVE WITH CARS THAT GET 50MPG.Even if the cars cost a little more you'll double your mileage and save the USA about 250 billion a year in oil purchases.
