You can get diesels in 1, 3, 5 and 7 Series vehicles. Eight years ago BMW didn't sell any diesels in Australia (the E53 3.0d was the first in 2003) and now it sells more diesels than petrol models across its entire fleet, and in X models it's something like 80 percent diesel.

Oh I know what we are missing, the problem is the 98% of the buying public does not.
Diesels are purchased in higher percentages in Canada than in the USA, but we tend to follow what BMW USA offers, not what our own market is calling for.
I don't think that I have seen a gas VW Golf/Jetta for years, and every X5 I see is a 35d.
