It looks like BMW diesel models are going to finally land in North America for 2017. 

Only two brands have been given the green light to sell diesel vehicles in the U.S. for the 2017 model year. 

Volkswagen’s emissions cheating scandal rocked the automotive world when it broke last year. It was the industry’s biggest story of 2015, and it’s one that’s still unfolding today.

Diesel is making a comeback in North America and there are more than a few cars out there outfitted with torquey, yet fuel efficient engines.

BMW introduced a new diesel-powered 3 Series today at the New York Auto Show, and now it has been announced that the 5 Series will also get a diesel engine in North America.

BMW will be showing off its 328d diesel wagon and sedan models at the upcoming 2013 New York Auto Show, both of which are expected to launch in America as 2014 models.

At a recent BMW North American meeting, the German automaker announced that six diesel models will be heading to America within the next two years.

Earlier, we announced that the BMW 320d was confirmed to be heading to America, featuring a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel four-cylinder with 180-hp and 280 lb-ft of torque.

Recently BMW revealed its new M Performance Diesel models, the M550d, X5 M50d, and X6 M50d, all of which are powered by the German automaker’s new 3.0L six-cylinder, tri-turbo diesel engine with 381-hp and 546 lb-ft of torque.

BMW will be ridding its lineup of the 335d, a decision that is rational from a business point of view, but upsetting to anyone who has driven BMW’s diesel offerings.

BMW held a dealer presentation in the Netherlands and a leak has rumors stirring that the upcoming M550d will officially come with 381-hp and 516 lb-ft of torque from its tri-turbo, inline-six diesel powerplant.

BMW’s new 3-Series is poised to hit showroom floors shortly, and sometime in the near future a diesel model will join the 328 and 335 sedans in the North American market. There’s no exact timeframe or official release from BMW in regards to a diesel model, but a company insider has confirmed that one will be coming… just when is unknown.

In case BMW‘s notoriously fickle enthusiasts can’t find the motivation to summon their pitchforks, here’s some news to light a fire under their posteriors: the legendary M division will put a diesel engine under the hood of their next car, a 5-Series.

BMW is working on a new engine for its diesel cars, and it’ll be packing three turbos for the X6 and the 7-Series—just like the next M3.

The Tri-Turbo will be a 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine with more turbochargers than BMW’s twin-turbo models, but less than Bugatti’s quad-turbo engine. Combined, power of these pinwheels will be between 350 and 400 horsepower.

The BMW 335d was voted “Diesel Car of the Year” at the New York Auto Show, by readers of The Diesel Driver magazine.
