Would you swap your 35d for the new '11 35i?
The diesel engine in x5 is a marvel. It still has greater torque than the new gas engine, better consumption and way friendlier to the environment. There won't be a significantly more impressive engine for a long time. 40d (assuming it will make it to the US at some point) has only incremental improvements. I hope you are enjoying the ride
Competition is a good thing. I checked out the new '10 MDX. They have added a lot high tech features for the new '10 MY. This should hopefully force BMW to add more high tech gadgets.
