I really wanted this car as I think a diesel hybrid is an excellent combination. The power output of this car, however, was a disappointment. Audi is coming out with a 3.0 V6 diesel hybrid, that is a better idea. The idea in a diesel hybrid in my opinnion is that you load it every night and do your dd with electricity and use an efficient diesel on the highway. What makes it most appealing is that you can have a very powerful combination engine, when you want it. With this non-powerful engine I think BMW missed the point, because why not just buy a 2.0 diesel if you dont care about the power. It will be so expesive that no one will chose a 2.0 diesel hybrid over a 2.0 diesel, but if it had more power, I would have chosen it over lets say a 40d or 30d.
