(doesn't matter if BMW CAN make a TRUE super car or not, the fact is we don't have one).
Broken Vert nailed it!

Unless your comparing turbo-diesel to turbo-diesel the LeMans argument fails.

Edit -

Almost forgot another knock on that Lemans argument LMP1 rules allow diesels to have significant displacement and airflow advantages versus otto-cycle powerplants, something the series has been trying to even out over the last couple of seasons.
