Popular in the U.S. market during the 1970s and ‘80s, diesel cars disappeared once emissions regulations tightened.   Today, diesel cars’ eco-friendly modern counterpart  are making a comeback.  BMW, like many other luxury car companies, has developed its own diesel car, the BMW 535d.  These new diesels are not only a blast to drive but are much greener than their predecessors.

When BMW updated the 5-Series for 2014, they added this new diesel to the mix.  With both power–it has a 3.0 liter in-line six-cylinder engine with 255 horsepower and 413 pound-feet of torque– and efficiency–26 mpg city, 38 mpg highway– it seems silly to even consider its gas-powered counterpart, the 535I.  the 535d consumes 25 percent less gas than the 535i.

It doesn’t stop at just powerful and efficient.  The 535d is also a thing of beauty.  Inside, it boasts refined features including a panoramic moonroof, a 10.2 inch navigation screen, and iDrive controller with a new touch pad.

The 535d starts at $57,525 but you can spring for plenty of upgrades that will bring your total closer to 66,425.  Of all the new luxury diesel options available right now, this is certainly a top contender.
