Steve, I am seriously considering holding off until the X50i hits the UK as much as it will hurt me financially & passionately when the X6 hits the roads.
It will also allow me to have a good look & test drive before I commit.
I really don't think I will be happy with a diesel, no matter how good they are.
Simon, I am sure it will be possible to alter the tailpipes, my concern is the way they are angled at the side which any aftermarket system would need to replicate accurately.

I am also still debating the merits of petrol/diesel. You can see the topic I started over on pistonheads..

I want to go for the petrol model but the X50i is not available and I'm not sure the 35i will be a good choice in such a big car. I will go ahead with the X6 and in that case it would be easier to trade-in a 35d for the 50i, so I may still stay with my current spec.
