While I agree, the 335d does not seem to offer the most efficient diesel mileage offerings, I believe bmw is worried about being perceived as low-end if they offer 4 cylinder diesels. Thus they are offering the 335d to keep with their high end image here in the US. Catch is, if ya do the math like I just did, it does not pay off.
Also worth noting Nixon, The US gallon is = 3.78 liters, the British or Imperial gallon is = 4.55 liters, a 20% disparity. So using U.K. mileage figures is skewing the results making the cars appear more efficient.
