I think you are ignorant of the current abilities of diesels. I own an M6, a Z4M and the 335d is the next car on my list as a daily driver. It's a phenomenal automobile and gets respectable gas mileage as well. I drove a 335d last month and was stunned. It's an incredible car.
As for diesels with manual transmissions are concerned, again you are behind the times. Diesel powered cars are tearing up the LMS series of races and several competitive diesel 1 series regularly can be found racing in the VLN series at the Nuerburgring--ever hear of the place?
