Those who track the gradual but assured incursion of European diesels to our shores have known about the upcoming 335d since January. However, for reasons unknown BMW has waited more than half a year to formally announce the car's pump-friendly mileage.
Disclosed on Friday for the first time, the U.S. version of the 2009 BMW 335d will be capable of 23 MPG in the city and 33 MPG on the highway, earning the car EPA's Okay in all 50 states, Edmunds reports. As expected, this Beemer's green nature will in no way scale back its ability to perform like one. The 3.0-liter inline-6 will crank out 265 horses and an astounding 425 pound-feet of torque at under 1,800 rpm!
The report also points out that the new 335d will feature "a complicated three-piece emissions system which consists of an oxidation catalyst, a diesel particulate filter and a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalyst" -- BMW's so-called AdBlue system "that makes this engine cleaner than your average diesel."
