Hi, The only difference I have come accross with X5 diesels is the level of nm (torque) that different Countries get.
For instance in New Zealand X5 E70 3.0d & 3.0sd puts out 20nm more than in Australia. England is the same, the reason is Australia is deemed sub-tropical and they are worried about heat. Also our diesel has 5 parts per million of sulphur, New Zealand has the same diesel as us but are not in the sub tropics.
So the chances are if a large part of the State's is clasified as sub tropics and your diesel in not rated at 1 part per million or better they will propable de-tune by 20nm. If your diesel is the right standard then they won't de-tune.
But history has shown that every revision of the BMW diesel engine comes out with more NM's, so by the time you get it may be pushing close to 630nm.
