Don't disagree with you there. Unfortunately, many Americans still can't pull their heads out of the sandbox and get over the old notion about diesel being smelly and dirty, BMW and Mercedes can't just stand by watching Toyota monopolyzing the growing luxury hybrid segment. They have no choice but to jump on the bandwagon with these cars. I hope sometime during the next 3-series's life cycle, BMW would pull a surprise magic trick out of the hat and offers a diesel/hybrid version (perhaps a 320d AH). That would be the ultimate driving hybrid.
