There are alternatives, I am downgrading from 550i to 535i, and if BMW marketed the 535D in the US, that would be my choice.
I agree completely. Gas mileage is 52 percent better on the highway with 535 than the 550. I also am downgrading to the 535 from a 550. I want to do my bit for global warming. If BMW offered the 535 diesel I would buy that in heartbeat.
