Also,I just checked www.bmw.co.uk and all new X5 and X3s sold today have exactly the same engine. |
Hi mate,
As far as I can gather the OZ spec X5 has the extra power 160kw (218bhp) and 480nm over the X5. This may be a extra tweek to compensate for our poor fuel quality, or the X3 being 'Johnny come lately' gets the new spec engine for the new X5d. I'll ask the question tomorrow anyway.
Cheers,
