Color is a
Ways a personal choice, so I wouldn't let anyone steer you otherwise.

Asmfar as the diesel, I have 18,000 milesmin 13 months. 24 mpg with 70% city driving in Boston. I do get 27 - 28 on highway at 72 Mph. Winter motions herenhave anti gel additives that lower economy.

DEF has not been a problem..except for an initial fill issue that several of us posted last winter.

I've been in zero degree temps in a Maine blizzard, with no start issues, and the X5 handles great in really nasty snow conditions.

No warranty problems, no issue finding diesel stations, no issues with run flats, didn't buy tire insurance. I did have the clear bra installed on the hood, mirrors, etc (non BMW) and it Is a good investment. My windshield is fairly pitted from a year on sanded roads, and I can only imagine what the front paint job wouldmlook like.

Enjoy!!!
