Diesels have always been tough to get Cali-spec, but this proves that either it's not that hard or there is new technology now which allows them to do so.  I say let California and the 16 other states which use our emissions standards (and account for half the US population) decide what they want!<br><br>Commence flaming  :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[porschedevotee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2008 3:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</guid><description><![CDATA["clean" Diesels like this one fall into the highest bin of emissions under CARB (and just barely). They can make a few of them, but fleet average requirements mean that they can't become their mainline vehicles.<br><br>As to BMW's promise that they'll be 50-state legal next year, well, that's what Mercedes said last year. When this year rolled around we found out BlueTec didn't meet CARB emissions after all and the vehicles couldn't be offered for sale, only a 3-year lease with a promise that the vehicles will be sent out of CARB regions after the time is up (although by then perhaps there will be a way to fix them to make CARB emissions).]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[why not the LS2LS7?]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2008 3:34PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</guid><description><![CDATA[Because the auto industry and EPA want to be in total control.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[YouFaceTheTick]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2008 3:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</guid><description><![CDATA[I agree with you, but you're forgetting that CARB standards are going to be a little more strict in just a few years, so the diesels will again be ineligible to be sold in CA and other states. <br><br>I don't see how the EPA can say that CA cannot allow stricter rules that what the EPA allows (state laws in general commonly do this), but CA should start finding a way to allow diesels to be sold.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[SOhp101]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2008 6:00PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is what happens when BMW denotes an engine that is 3.0 litres as a 35 just because it has 2 turbos... and has to but an X and D in the name...]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Fooman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 13th 2008 5:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/13/detroit-2008-live-reveal-of-bmws-335d-and-x5-xdrive35d/</guid><description><![CDATA[The EU rates the diesel X5 at 23 mpg [US] urban and 34 mpg [US] combined cycle.
