According to Green Car Reports, BMW diesels officially dead in the US
It seems that BMW will be favoring Plug-In Hybrids instead of their diesel models. Link to the article below.
"We're putting all our eggs in the PHEV basket," said BMW spokesman Alexander Schmuck. https://www.greencarreports.com/news...lug-in-hybrids Quote:

Damn I am a bit upset. Was looking forward to replacing the 2015 BMW X5d with the newer one and diesel engine. Guess need to look into E-hybrids like the next gen Cayenne as the BMW e hybrid is going to take 1 more year to come which I have no clue why its taking that long

After owning several bmws all with the i6 gas engines and now owning a f15 30d I want to go back to gas i6. It's just much more fun to drive.

Looks to be legit.

Definitely time to look somewhere else. Had BMW diesels for a decade now. Would not drive anything else.....

This one will allow for approx 40-50 mpgE with charged battery and gas. Not a bad option. My salesman at Porsche says his Panamera E-Hybrid is charged everynight and he only puts gas in it 1x every 2 weeks... Yeah dont ask how he even affords a Panamera lol. |

Article has been updated
"UPDATE: BMW has clarified its statement to Green Car Reports in an email. The final decision as to whether or not the BMW X5 diesel variant will come to the U.S. market has not been made. BMW of North America continues to monitor customer preferences and is prepared to adjust the product portfolio accordingly."

If you watch the 1st. episode of new Netflix series "Dirty Money" about VW's diesel debacle you might not want a diesel. It's very well done and implicates BMW and MB as well towards the end. Bottom line these engines pollute 400% to 500% more than the manufacturers say. It's worth watching. BMW's decision might very well be related to this since the motors might not pass emission regs.

Just curious to ask, where else can you go? All the germans have gotten rid of their diesel vehicles and it seems only Chevy is introducing diesels but only for limited models.

Oh yeah I forgot, although I think they're very slow. I think the F-Pace has a 2.0T diesel that takes 9+ seconds to 60, which in my opinion is unacceptable for a $60+ suv. Plus Jag/Land Rover reliability seems to be a huge risk.

Diesels are a dying breed.
Good to see BMW is all in.

If you want a diesel the market in America is slim, I shopped everything , almost purchase a TDI sports wagen, but it was a lifeless commuter... I see a good amount of the 320d variants around me , so they must sell well Who doesn't want a luxury wagon that gets 45mpg? |
