Diesel torque and economy with the looks, makes a very complete and compelling package. I think the biggest seller will be the 320d coupe.

Great to see a 320d Touring will be available. Might consider one now... Pity BMW (like many others) no longer have their web pricing up because of those stupid new guidelines. How can I check over the option list without having to go into a dealer ? Urgh... Yes, finally indeed…

I'm assuming it's the same engine as in the E90 330d so should be excellent. “330d Coupe – $91,900″

Wow, that will be great value for money. I’m assuming it’s the same engine as in the E90 330d so should be excellent.

No doubt anything with the new 23d will move from sales yards quickly also (literally ;) agreed – cant wait to see if new X3 gets revised 35d engine – that will sell well.

A 123d would be a perfect all rounder depending on your needs. I've driven the 123d coupe in the UK and it is one of the best diesel engines on the market. I think it's even smoother than the 35d engine, though not quite as nice as JLR's new one. If you want a coupe, would you really spend another $7,000 buying a 320d when you could have a superior 123d? Doesn't quite work if you ask me. Finally they have a diesel Touring! They've needed that since the beginning. Maybe we'll finally see some on the road. The additions to the Convertible and Coupe ranges are nice too. I imagine the 320d convertible will get some sales as it undercuts the current cheapest 3 Series convertible by about $17,000. It also brings pricing into line with the new Lexus. A different sort of engine, but not a bad one and in many ways a better one. I only wish that the 3 Series could be had with a manual. At least you can get the 123d with a manual though, that's something. I look forward to their future offerings. The Efficient Dynamics range is a rather impressive one. Finally!
