Yeah, we'll see. I've mentioned a few times that it doesn't feel like the right climate for BMW to be introducing more diesel passenger cars in the US. They've made it clear that their longterm strategy is eDrive and this seems to be the better bet. In many areas of the world governments are putting a lot of effort behind weening people off of diesel and into PHEVs.
