In the X6 brochure both engines have a couple of pages dedicated to them, which include a dyno-like graph showing the available torque and power @ rpm. It starts at 1000rpm and right from there, the 35d is significantly higher right across to about 4700-4800 rpm, where it finally drops down to the petrol engine's 400nm. only here does the petrol sustain 400nm for about another 300-400rpm where it too dives off
given that we were talking about low rpm, I didn't see that 300-400 rpm range right up at 5k, particularly significant in the context - so felt that saying 'right across the board' was pretty fair. happy to change that to 'right across the board until 5k rpm' though
