I'm wondering how that works out? The $1800 rebate exists solely between a diesel purchaser and the IRS...BMWNA has no stake in that money and F them if they ever thought so, even down to the lowliest CA on the lot.
You're correct in stating that the entire X5 line, the 35d especially is overpriced by about 5K and that's why the "eco-credit" exists. Future MSRPs will only creep upwards, so don't get your hopes up.
