Certainly the resell price is higher with diesels, but parts are sometimes more difficult to come by, and they cost more (unless your motorplan is current in which case the cost to you would be zero). Loads of power, and better consumption which means less $$ out of your pocket. But does a person necessarily own the car long enough to make that extra $$ really count? On a side note, we have have al ready seen turbos fail and need to be replaced around the 30 to 45 K mark on the E53, will this get better with the E70.......? This is a heavy car, and there is allot of strain on a 3l engine with a turbo......
