Yeh, you get that feeling they wanted to dump all the old diesel motors on someone. The twin turbo motor they have had for awhile, they have been using it in the 5 series. NZ has been getting it for more than 18 months in there 5 series sedans.

Don't understand why they just did'nt use the new motor in the new X5 and keep the old diesel for the X3.

Like you said if you had of known you would have held off.
