Donegal TDI is on a distinguished road
Calling all X5 dieselheads

Hi
Just what is the story with BMW's apparent "shame" at allowing the 3.0D's exhaust system to show at the rear as in the gas/petrol varients.
I have a fully loaded 3.0D sport ordered, expect delivery late July.
I'm coming from an Audi allroad 2.5TDI (diesel) which proudly sports both it's rear exhaust tips out the back.
Yet BMW have come up with the wierdest conveluted design of rear silencer to hide the rear exhaust.
WHY????
Anyone consider a retrofit to pop them out where they should have gone the first day, IMHO?
