torque yes but i believe that diesels are still far behind in hp/L even with the recent advancements(higher rev limits etc.)-the petrol engines also get revvier all the time. also, although the torque is great it's my impression that often these super-torquey diesels aren't offered with manuals because of lack of a manual clutch with an adequate torque rating. i personally would be very interested in a 335d for example or a torquey 1er if it came with stick.
