OMG, if I had the money, I'd totally buy one of these! Welcome to the diesel market, BMW. I hope to see more cars like this.

Americans are stupid. They think Hybrids are better, it's sad how easily influenced Americans are when it comes to Hybrids. It's obvious that Clean Diesel is better and their longevity has been proven.

BMW designed the 335D perfectly, there is no compromise of performance over fuel economy. I would pick this over the Prius anyday.

My 2011 335d gets 34mpg vs 25mpg in same commute as my V6 Accord

I like my 2011 335D which gets 36-40 mpg highway and tons of power. We got it with Premium Nav and split rear seats for more storage. No problem snce we bought it and the dealer will give $4500 credit under invoice price for eco and loyalty. That is over $8000 less than MSRP.

@7477238 americans are just using hybrids as an argument to keep diesel cars off the road because they are scared of the smog of the diesels of the 80s.

In fact, here in europe, BMW sells diesel inline 6 since the mid 80's.

They started with 524td wich pulled out about 115hp. Then the E36 3-series came with the longtime famous 2.5L IL6 TDS, pulling out 143hp.

Today, my own 335d pulls 286hp in its std spec (we dont have these adblue systems yet), and lower-end 320D pulls out 184 hp from a 2L Inline 4, with an unbelievable 57 mpg... (here, fuel is 30 to 40% cheaper than gas)

Times are changing ;-)

@racerxcx Car and Driver got 0-60MPH in 6.8 (read second drive test) for the XC60 T6 (slowest C&D 0-60MPH was 7.1 for XC60 T6).

@swedishiron

Compined comsumptions:

XC60 T6 Geartronic - 11.7 L/100km

X5 35dA 8.3 L/100km

I REALLY don't see your point here?!?

Performance

XC60 7.5s 0-100km/h (60mp/h) top speed ???

X5 35d 7.0s 0-100km/h (60mph) top speed 235km/

And XC60 is much samller car than X5, XC90 is in same gategory.

@cafface This engine does not accept Bio-diesel or either veggie oil. It's forbidden by BMW. I don't know exactly why.
