However modern turbo charged petrol cars have closed that gap.

I think that this has potentially caught BMW out a little with the extra demand, this forum alone has evidenced the fact that there seems to be a shift in buying attitudes.
Yea you are probably right, I was considering a diesel but after VW's diesel scandal i went for a petrol instead, and i heard of many other abandoning diesel too
