Diesel 640d xDrive Gran Coupé in North America?
Does anyone know if the next generation 6 series will offer Diesel version in North America?
I'm surprised why BMW never offered the current Diesel version for NorAm http://www.bmw.de/vc/ncc/xhtml/start...2#MODEL_ENGINE |

For some odd reason, diesels never took off in America. I never had a diesel, but I have friends to switch and haven't gone back. The low torque and awesome mpg are making me tempted to get a diesel X5 once my gas one is ready to be traded.
Maybe they're having trouble selling the 535d, so there's no sense of introducing the 640d??? |

In contrary, In Canada the 5series diesel is selling like crazy...
Also X5 Diesel is on back order and I was one of the luckier ones since my Diesel X5 was the first batch of orders that arrived into Canada...after that, I hear the incentives are still extremely low from dealerships as the F25 is still on back order... I've had 2 gasoline vehicles, one an F10 (X3), and an F30 (3series)...I've sold both due to relatively higher mpg vs. diesel... (it is to strongly note that compared to other brand gasolines, they still kicked ass dramatically... I have a ford edge company vehicle and I'm visiting the gas station every 3 days or so!!!) I'm very happy with the X5...the torque is a MONSTER!!! and the consumption (as well as environmental impact) is significantly improved. I'm basically used to driving Diesel (Europe) and I'm happy I did revert back to it...the engine is extremely strong and quite at the same time... Needless to say, hence my search for a Diesel sedan following the recent sale of my F30. |
