Late last year, some of BMW's future diesel plans for the US market
were leaked, and we learned that a diesel-powered version of the
3 Series sedan (pictured above in 335i guise) would be coming in the first quarter of 2013. That report appears to be holding true, as
BMW has just confirmed the debut of the oil-burning 328d sedan as part of the company's
New York Auto Show plans.
The 328d will be powered by a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel engine good for 180 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The rear-wheel-drive sedan will hit 60 miles per hour in 7.2 seconds and fuel economy numbers could "well exceed" 40 miles per gallon. (Official EPA numbers will be released closer to the car's launch.)
Elsewhere on BMW's New York stand, the company will show off the
3 Series Gran Turismo that debuted at the
Geneva Motor Show earlier this month, as well as the
Concept Active Tourer that we first saw in
Paris last fall.
