BMW 330d
BMW 123d
Audi A3 / A4 3.0d
Merc 3.2 V6 Diesels etc etc

Or tbh a tweaked Astra 1.9 150PS CDTi isn't bad either.

If we're only classing le mans cars that means most petrols aren't performance either.

The diesels mentioned in here will keep pace with most 'performance' petrols.

I agree with John here, diesels have such a bad reputation. For people who need to do lots of miles in great comfort and great speed, but also with great economy there really is nothing better than the BMW diesels - sales figures prove that

A 1.9 diesel without a turbo and about 70bhp is faster than a 150bhp one with loads of torque
