2012 X5 35D
51k miles
Sport
Premium
Comfort Access
HUD
NAV
Active Ventilated heated/cooled seats

I really enjoyed the car and especially enjoyed the low end torque of the diesel. Here are my questions:

1. Is a somewhat rough idle normal for the 35d? With A/C off and windows up and in Park I could feel a noticeable vibrations through the steering wheel.

2. How does the maintenance of the 35d compare to the 35i?

3. Any other thoughts on owning the diesel?

Thanks!
Miles seem a little high for an '12. I would look for a lower mileage one if possible. I bought my '08 from a dealer in Los Angeles when it was 2 years old on a lease return and CPO with only 15K miles on it (and only have 69K on it now).
