Using [1], BMW have 87 models, of which 13 can be electric, 13 plug-in hybrid, 47 petrol and just 6 diesel. The six are all SUVs. Mercedes don't have an easy filter, but they do have some cars available with diesel engines, e.g. C-Class. Diesel is now down to 9.5% of new cars sold in Europe (Q1 2025), less than full EVs ([2]).

There are several 3 series diesel variants sold right now in my country, so maybe we need a bit more data gathering before drawing conclusions. It does seem like diesel is trending lower, but it's not gone yet, regardless whether you think that is a good thing or not. In any case, my point was this: > it would be impossible to create diesel engines which would comply with enviromental standards is false. Which it is. Or multiple car manufacturers are still cheating, I guess we must consider the possibility.
