Funny how people don't complain much about hybrids' extra cost, but it comes up in diesel vs gasoline all the time.
Funny how diesels are all painted the same even though BMW hasn't had any cars found cheating.
So what if diesel costs 20% more, it gets at least 30% better fuel economy (and no, a 535d is not like a 528i which has a lot less power/torque and still doesn't have good fuel economy). The money adds up but over 150,000 miles of lots of torque and fewer fuel stops.
