UK Sales figures for 2011
7-series sales were 1,471 of which 1,379 were diesel.
5-series sales were 21,703 of which 20,665 were diesel.
3-series sales were 42,471 of which 32,895 were diesel.
X3 sales were 5,100 of which just 2 were petrol.
X5 sales were 5,459 of which 5,363 were diesel.
Even something like the Jaguar XJ, with 2,078 sales, 1,761 were still diesel.
From UK DTI Vehicle Licensing Statistics 2011
Both the BMW 3 and 5-series top selling models in the UK, the standard 520d/320d are well below that average figure. The ED models doing even better, coming in at (520d ED) 119 g/km & (320d ED) 109 g/km.
