LONDON — BMW said it will follow the lead of other European automakers, including Volkswagen AG, and begin to sell diesel cars in the U.S. market within the next two years, using a urea-based additive to meet emissions standards, according to a Financial Times report that ran on Wednesday.
Separately, BMW's U.S. arm in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, confirmed that the 2007 BMW 328i coupe will start at $35,995, including a $695 destination charge.
The 335i coupe, with a 300-horsepower twin-turbo inline six-cylinder engine, will have a starting price of $41,295, including shipping. The new 328xi coupe, which features the company's advanced xDrive all-wheel-drive system, will retail for $37,795, including shipping.
What this means to you: BMW has its ear to the ground and knows that U.S. buyers are more open to diesel than they were several years ago. It also knows it's got the price point right for the 3 Series.
