    I would to see the new 3.0 Diesel in a 3 or 5 series wagon, but early reports show sedans only. Can we voice our opinion to BMW, I'm sure others feel the same way I do. If so, how?

    BMW is probably a little reluctant to do anything with diesels until they see what US demand is... however... I do recall one time when the club pushed BMW for a model with some success. BMW NA said there would be no E36 M3 for the US, too expensive with its highly tuned European engine. Supposedly the S52 US spec engine, essentially a bored and stroked variation of the 2.8 M52, is the result of strong demand from club members for a reasonably-priced (mid 30s at the time) M3.
    BMW sold a lot of E36 M3s in the US.
