If BMW would actually introduce the 745d in the US, well that would be a
car for "out-west". Silent, fast, pulls like a freight train (700nm
torque!) and about 35 mpg highway... I wonder why they haven't done it
yet...

The diesels GM brought out were such pieces of junk it turned off a couple
of generations of drivers in the US. Until that legacy is lost to memory
diesels will be a tough sell.

If my take is right, the MB TurboDiesels that sold in the US have not been
happy experiences, either.
