Hope you guys in the US are allowed to have diesels soon. I really believe more than 60% of US members on this forum would switch to diesel in a cinch. I'd never give up my '06 manual 3.0d X5 for a gasoline ride. The torque on this thing is just addictive (404 lbs/ft at little over 2.500 rpm with the magic li'l "tunit" box). Now when the E70 comes out with the 335d engine..... hmmm....
