I don't think you can buy a diesel anywhere in the North East.

Was just flicking through the mag at a friends house and got some inreresting info
Well according to them, becuase the new e class (2008) will receive a tuned
4 litre bi-turbo engine producing 354bhp/880nm , bmw will relegate the 535d
with its current output to middle class 5 series diesel, and will offer a 540d with
a detuned 4.5litre diesel engine , which is currently being offered in the 745d...
No predictions of its output, but will be a monster
The new e-class e450cdi will go from 0-62 in 5.5 seconds or less
schocking stuff

I petrol engined cars weren't taxed as much, I'd have a 530i or 550i too. I'd rather have a diesel 6 cyl rather than be forced to get a 4 cyl petrol.

Personally, I enjoy driving a diesel more than a petrol - can't believe I would ever say that... The effortless grunt does it for me!
