You can order them. BUT: No dealer stocks them, there are non to test drive, Its a vicious circle.

Yeap, my dealer told me 'Don't even think about petrol, or you will be the eternal owner of the car' - meaning that it will be impossible to sell it.
I went for 750d for the following reasons:
- real life consumption is 10 l/100 km. 750i would be 18-20. I am filling up once a week - this is soooo convenient;
- reliability of BMW diesels is excellent. Unlike 740i and 750i which are notorious for issues after 100K km. Often earlier;
- for 750i I would have paid higher tax at purchase (+EUR3000) and then annually (+EUR800/year), just because it is 4.4 vs 3.0 in 750d. This may vary by country though
