If that is right I reckon we have our government and in particular the London Congestion Charge to thank. As of next year if you drive a car bought since early this year in Central London with emissions of over 225g/km you will have to pay £25 a day!!! (currently £8 with residents discount which is disappearing) Until EfficeintDynamics was launched all the new X5's were over that limit....now with ED both the 3.0d and sd are below that limit and nothing any other manufacturer makes comes close. It's a huge sales advantage.
