On the value of the SD, I am dissapointed that the Irish/UK spec on the SD is a lot lower than in most other countries. If you look at the international X5 info you will see that things like the Xenon's etc come as standard on the SD elsewhere. It seems to be like the 4.8 of diesels!

You are in the same situation as me. My delaer is struggling to confirm a date. I heard the BMW UK may be effectively allocate each dealer a number of the twin turbo diesel engines and the dealer can within reason allocate them across the X3,X5,335 and 535 as they seee fit.
