Driving a Diesel for many has nothing to do with the price.
It's more to do with the driving experience. The torque
the entire experience. As the article said......
"But perhaps the coolest thing about the new diesels is
that they make you feel as if you’re getting away with
something: they are frugal, yet fun to drive."

Enjoying what your driving is what it's all about.

I don't understand why they don't put the 335 gas engine in the X?
It has tons of torch, on a recent trip to VT (in the 535XIT) it went up the hills in high gear with ton of power. The old 4.4 X5 had to down shift to climb those same hills.
