Perhaps the N20 isn't the only engine option change for MY2013. I can only hope at this point! I drove the 3L VW turbo diesel in the Touareg and it was very impressive.

When checking out the MB GLK350 the sales associate told me that in Canada, diesel powered cars accounted for 80% of the sales in any model line offered with Diesels.

VW sells every diesel car they bring into Canada... Lets hope Scott26 is correct and we'll see the oil burner in the X3.

Yep I hope you get the 35D engine, it really is quick and quiet.

BMWNA think 'we' are all American I suppose. I guess BMWNA is wait for Audi and MB to release diesel first then follow suit. BMW may be more of a follower than a leader in NA.
