It seems to me that the US only emissions control subsystems on the 328d are not as thoroughly tested/engineered as the rest of the car/engine. One of the reasons the government's war on diesels in the US is so frustrating. Not that the VW tactic is acceptable but having to engineer complicated emissions control systems for one market is bound to cause problems. It's kinda made me decide to steer clear of diesels. Which is a shame because i love driving them, love the torque and love the efficiency. I'd strongly consider another BMW diesel or the new upcoming mazda diesel if it wasn't for the US spec emissions systems and the wildcard reliability that comes with them.
