As far as I can check these figures are correct, as published in DieselCar.
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.
