VW.....get on it.....
Will BMW be known for it's diesels? VW has been here for years and it seems like they are having some problems or just don't care about diesels.

The 118d edged the Smart Fortwo cdi and the Volkswagen Passat 1.9 TDI.
An international jury of 47 motoring writers from 24 countries selected the 118d, which returns a combined 52 mpg and produces only 119g/km of CO2.
The 118d three- and five-door models use BMW's Efficient Dynamics technologies — including brake energy regeneration, auto start-stop and electric power steering — to help lower emissions and boost fuel economy.
