Good point.
For the cost, in some countries like mine diesel cars aren't more expensive because of marketing: people still believe petrol is cool and diesel is not. As foк the numbers, there is even no matter of saving on fuel but I just like my current number 6-7 l/100 more than 15-18 l/100 with the old 540i. Feel effectiveness.
For the performance, it depends much on owner's personality. Demand of a 22 year old guy driving countryside highways is the 550xi catless JB4 with methanol, to show up to friends and attract cheeks. Demand of a 40 year old guy living in large urban area with speed limit cameras is a diesel car, to move comfortably here and there. E.g. I like very much the beautiful diesel F11's of the Nordic forum members. There are some aspects of local taxation but let's leave it out now for simplicity.
