MB is working on a diesel hybrid; I think they will be slow to catch on though due to high cost.

BMW probably figures nobody is going to pay extra for a small diesel just to save $$ on gas over many years. Economy-minded drivers don't buy BMWs in the first place. This engine seems like more of an alternative to the 4.4 V8; should be a great motor for towing.
