As a BMW hybrid owner, I can tell you that stop-and-go traffic eats up gas in the hybrids, too. Even when sitting at lights or creeping along on the hybrid battery, you can't make up for all the gas the engine sucks as it takes off from a complete stop up to ~40mph. Sure, it has better mileage than the petrol-only equivalent, but maybe only 10-15% better. Surely the diesel variants can do better than this?
In other diesel news, the xDrive35d is the exact same base price as the new LCI F10 535d. A $3K+ Eco-credit would make these more appealing
