What is the go regarding the various E70 models for a family? Diesel vs Petrol? Which options are considered good value and which nice to have?
What is a fair price for xDrive30D and xDrive35D in say 2009 year with less than 10,000 kilometers?

Asking whether diesel or petrol is better is inviting a "How long is a piece of string" argument. Most Aussies buy diesels (70% of current X5 sales), given the superior performance/economy ratio to the petrols, and seem happy to put up with the loss in refinement and smelly fuel problems of diesels. As for options, that really depends on your what you want. Don't, for example, go for a Sport model if you plan to spend any time off road. And, as for pricing the best place to start research is carsales.com.au, drive.com.au or carpoint.com.au. Also check redbook.com.au
