as you have to pay lots for things that have to be standard in a car of this class... Fuel economy is much better on the 2008 3.0D X5 compared
to the 320CDI and the handling of the MB is more like a real offroader means not too sporty. Take test drive of the MB and then do one in the E70...
So long

No the 420CDI is not available in Canada ... Sniff.
The 3.0D X5, as any other diesel from BMW are not available in Canada ... more sniff.
I would prefer the 3.0D over the ML 320CDI.
As the 3.0D is supposed to be available here in 08/12 I plan to lease the 320CDI for one or two years then switch back to the 3.0D
I test drove the 320 and it's no BMW but the torque is plenty sufficient for the planed use, towing a 2000kg boat.
Then in one or two years if the CDN$ remains strong ( it is predicted that the $CDN should reach parity with the euro within the next 18 months ) BMW should then offer a realistic pricing policy in Canada.
We'll see ...
