Southern California BMW dealers should take note, the push is on to bring-to-market even more fuel stingy vehicles. High taxation levels on gas-guzzling vehicles, proposed future draconian changes in emissions legislation that manufacturers will have to meet together with pressure from the "green" lobby has forced the development and ramping up of "lean and green" technology; especially for the Southern California BMW automobiles market.

BMW has revamped the X5 SUV, only announced this April. Already BMW has just announced that the best selling 3.0d diesel unit will be changed in October this year, just 7 months after the launch. This new version of the 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel motor has lower emissions, better fuel economy and performance all developed under their EfficientDynamics program.

When this puppy hits the street look for a lot of less efficient BMW used cars in California to hit the market.
