BMW officially took the wraps off its first US market diesels since the mid-1980s today at the Detroit Auto Show. The 335d and exceedingly awkwardly named X5 xDrive35d are getting BMW's dual turbocharged 3.0L inline six diesel starting this fall. The 265-hp, 425-lb.ft. torque monster will make these vehicles among the most fuel-efficient and best performing vehicles in their class. They will also be among the cleanest being 50 state legal with particulate filters and a urea injection system that BMW is calling BluePerformance. So far no word on pricing, but based on the 535d that AutoblogGreen drove recently, this should be a killer combination at any price.

I can't wait till these hit the ground. These are truly no excuses diesels so these will be the ones that really test the market, especially the 335d. Mercedes has proven that they can sell in SUVs and mid-level sedans, but now here comes the first one in the entry-level segment.

Yes, and it will be amazing, to say at least. The 3.0 twin turbo diesel is by far the most awesome in the 3-series. I drove a chipped 335d touring yesterday, with 700 Nm and 320 hp....an absolute monster, and people in the U.S will be in awe. It's truly the best diesel engine in the world.
