Nothing quantitative to offer; only opinions here.

The power curve on the diesel is perfect for the X5. Of course, I haven't driven the new TT petrols and with the 35d, I don't want for anything, so it's likely I've been charmed.

I did drive the old six and eight cylinders and chose the 35d without hesitation. Since, I've only grown more fond.

Now that I think about it, the 5.0TT is intriguing....seriously, it's not often I would completely buy a vehicle again, if given another chance to start over, but the 35d I would certainly do again in a skinny minute.
