Performance wise, the 3.0i will eat dust, just read some reviews in decent car magazines. With my stock diesel I outran a Cayenne 3.0 (the cheapest one, not S), I kid you not. He was sticking to my a** and when I changed lanes to let him pass, I floored it and the guy was slowly getting more and more behind. He will even eat more dust after I install the Ac-Schnitzer tuning module tonight 
IMHO, the 3.0d is the second best bangs for money, when it comes to an X5. |

http://www.xoutpost.com/showthread.php?t=4890 Theres a guy with a Dinan 4.4 Getting 11-12l/100km(24 Mpg)!!!!!!!Thats what I and a lot of my friends with Diesels are getting(possibly in low 10s pussy footing around!!)
Your 2005 X5 Diesel is faster than the 3.0i,unfortunately us with pre-2004 can just about hang on with them on top speed,in gear accelleration but not off -the line (0-100km/h...3.0d=10.1 secs.....3.0i=8.5....Manual cars).
Itis always nice to hear a BMW beating a Porsche!Nice one Tom!How do you find your 4.4 exhausts?No too much smoke ,I hope!Would be really nice to have your feedback on the Schnitzer module...Thanks.
