I guess none of the -1 f@#ktards know anything about diesel. Great job!

Monstrous torque; doesn't really matter what gear you're in - when you step on the gas, it goes and goes fast.There is a very small turbo lag which almost feels like you're waiting for the auto to downshift when you're in first (maybe you are; haven't driven it enough to tell-it's my wife's car). On the downside, it revs to only 5500 or thereabouts (could be 6k), which just seems strange...an extra 1-2k really changes the feel of the car. Mileage for far is TBD, she's turning 25mpg in 100% city driving <35mph with a lot of stop signs and lights; her first road trip will be next week and I'll get a read on HWY mileage. Should be high 30s to maybe 40 depending on the elevation changes and speed limit.Some annoying things like the Urea refill (covered during the free maintenance period for BMWs), some odd behavior periodically the fans will run in the garage for 15 minutes as part of the diesel particulate filter cleaning cycle (it's normal, just weird...makes your garage smell like something is burning).Diesel availability is decent, about 1/3 of stations around my house have it. The economics absolutely make sense when you factor in tax credits, etc. It's great going 500 miles on a tank; way fewer fill ups. It's relatively quiet, doesn't smell, no smoke (ha).As someone else put it, it has more torque than a Hemi and better mileage than most 4 bangers, what's not to like?
