BMW not only got the only diesel award for its 4-cylinder diesel but received awards for its six (N54) and eight cylinder engines as well.
Other recipients include Toyota, Audi, and Mercedes-AMG. VW got the top award.
This proves that BMW is truly an engineering and engine company at heart.
For complete details, a short article (by a colleague of mine) has more info.

so its like 4 or 5 BMW engines out of 10? That is powerful! Way to go BMW!!!!
(with one small exception. Their petrol straight sixes tend to "detonate" or "pre-ignite" making for one awful sound experience. ask me how I know, lol)

The N54 engine is not what causes the hpfp problem. Its the fuel pump which is not even made by BMW. Engine problems would be like bearings,rods,wrist pins etc..
