Gasoline is relatively cheap in the US right now.
I've been around enough blocks to know that could change and I love the torque of the diesel (had one in X5 guise). But I'd be hard pressed today to take a Diesel over a silky smooth gas burning G30.

It's unlikely diesel will rule for much longer. People are attacking it for NO2 emissions etc so unless newer diesels fix that petrol will be the safer bet. In the USA you guys have ridiculously cheap fuel as well...

Jaguars are getting their diesel xf sportbrake to the US. That would make it the only diesel wagon in the size category of 5 series. But who knows what other auto manufacturers might bring. I hope BMW follows the diesel wagon since the 3 series wagon is getting too small for me.
Also I like the engine in the BMW. Jaguars are just getting the 2.0 diesel. |

That's the old N57, the new one is called B57, so far it's only available in the G11 740d with 320 hp (metric hp) the N57 has 313 hp.

Isn't this just the new 535d? My wife has one currently. Not a surprise right?

The last 535d sold in USA had the 30d engine my guess is that we can expect the same from the new one.

Wish we could get this engine in a 3/4 series in the US.
