BMW's 1 Series is a great driving machine based on the the higher volume and much praised 3 series. Unfortunately despite the shorter wheelbase and significantly compromised interior packaging it was only about 100 pounds lighter than the 3.
I closed out my review then with the wish that BMW would offer it's marvelous turbodiesel four-cylinder in the US market 3 series wagon, combining the great dynamics of the 3 sedan with some reasonable utility and great fuel efficiency. It looks like that car will finally be arriving about a year from now.
Leaked: BMW diesels coming to the U.S. in 2013-2014
A leaked shot of an internal BMWNA Powerpoint presentation confirms a previous report we published in August: starting in 2013, a wide range of BMW diesels will make their way into the U.S. market.

Wish the 1 wagon diesel would be here soon for less than 30k, but that is just dreaming.
Wagons and diesels still have some stigmas to overcome in the US. Maybe Mazda can change that?
