Colorado general chat...

The Mazda 6 Skyactiv-D might undercut the Cruze. Plus, due to engineering hax they don't have to worry about high NOx emissions usually associated with diesels.

I haven't even heard of that....time for some Google.

[Bimmerman325i]

Google says....awesome awesome tech, plus you can get the diesel with a manual. Definitely going to keep it in mind.

I really really want a 335d. If BMW brings smaller diesels here I'd happily get one of those too, but I don't know whether that's going to happen or not.

That's all I ask is for my next car to be built in this century, get 35+ mileage units, and not be slow.

The new Chevy cruze diesel is also making me think terrible awesome thoughts. Cheap diesel ftw?

Salesman at the dealer the other day said that the x1 will be Coming with a 4 cyl diesel

But for how much? The rwd X1 is $31k without any options. Add awd or a diesel engine (or both) and I'd imaging the price will quickly close in on $37k+ before options.

For that price I'd just buy a CPO 335d and S54 swap the M3.

That being said, Hybrids are the stupidest fucking thing currently produced on this planet. You want to talk about environmental impact... boom

Not sure, but a few years ago, the gigantic 335/x5d was the only diesel motor offered. Nice piece, but kind of defeated the purpose of a diesel. a 120d or 320d would be great, not the 335d. I've said it before, but I found the 335d to be not as impressive as I was hopping, you should really drive on David. Point is, if they are making a 4cyl diesel for the US market, it will probably be cleared to come in other chassis's later... that's the part I'm looking forward to.

I would take a 1.9 TDi A3 over a 335d any day... That's a fun car to drive the piss out of.

Oh, I completely agree. I just don't think I could justify spending nearly 40k for a BMW diesel when half that would get the Mazda6 diesel or the Chevy.

I do need to drive them all though before I decide what to do.

I have one sitting in my garage, but I was sort of planning on slapping it in my E28...

Why don't you just get one on CL? They are plentiful and relatively cheap.

also check upullandpay.com for E36s in the yard, motors are a flat price of $200, but of course you are limited in your knowledge of what you are getting.

They found bigfoot... apparently.

Eric, what did you not like about the 335d? I think it's an amazing car. Kinda missing the point of a diesel, but it can do 40+ MPG and still destroy an E36 M3.

Brad, do you know much about these Piezo injectors? Seems like they are very possible to become a failure point... diesel injectors are typically a common failure point to begin with.

[Roland H]

Looks like skyactiv diesel won't be available for a while either.
