The diesel engine range in the rest of world (outside the US) is quite large:
16d - 118hp
18d - 152hp
20d - 193hp
25d - 221hp
30d - 262hp (255hp in the US)
35d - 317hp (same engines, different badging across models)
40d - 317hp (same engines, different badging across models)
The cost of fuel in Europe is very high, so as much as we all love petrol engined cars, many diesel versions actually make more sense e.g. 640d over the 640i. 320d over the 320i.
I've got a C63 at the moment that drinks like fish, but goes next month to be replaced with a 640d.

640d! man I would love to have that car in the US. I got lucky and got a 640i GC that was still on the boat a different dealer ordered. I hope with the next generation of cars, BMW brings over more diesel engines.
