Traditionally no not really. Deisel is becoming more pouplar now due to fuel prices here. The 5 is my first diesel. Petrol is about £1.22 per litre and diesel is about £1.21 per litre. But with the mpg factored in you can see the savings.
Still do not understand why diesel is almost the same as petrol now. Always used to be much cheaper.

yer, with a bit of searching around I could possibly find 119.9p for diesel, but I would say they are about average for Kent?????
Just to make sure did a quick google and found this for my area:
Unleaded Diesel LRP Super LPG see the cheapest stations
The Highest price in this area: 128.9p 129.9p n/a 134.9p 69.9p
The Average price in this area: 121.4p 122.4p n/a 128.5p 66.3p
The Lowest price in this area: 118.9p 119.9p n/a 123.9p 61.9p

It's kind of funny that we LOVE our cars so much, but then as soon as they are gone, we ALREADY know how we are replacing them!! 
Good luck on the outcome!

Sorry to hear about what happened to your car and hope your next car plans work out for you.
I had the LCI 525dA M-Sport 2 cars ago and thought it was great. Sooo much smoother than my previous pre-LCI 530d and around town it was more than quick enough... plus good miliage due to the LCI Auto and new 3.0L diesel. (You can also do the SAT Auto retrofit.)
Good luck with it all
