BMW 635d Sport

Five years after the engine’s launch, BMW has finally slotted its superb twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel into the 6-Series coupé, creating the world’s first oil-burning luxury Grand Tourer.

Rival: Mercedes CLS320 CDI
While it’s not strictly a two-door coupé, Mercedes’ ultra-stylish CLS is also available with a strong diesel. The 224bhp 3.0-litre V6 isn’t as powerful, clean (200g/km) or efficient (37.2mpg) as the BMW, but it is significantly cheaper, costing £43,957.
